Re: PX-716SA growisofs won't write DVD
updated to latest firmware and used the media that came with the drive and it
burned fine. Now I guess I just have to find media the drive likes. rather
dissapointing in that its a plextor, I'd expect it to burn to anything, but
at least now I know it works!
thanks,
Steve
