@ monument,

Suggest visiting the NEC DVD Burner Forum (http://club.cdfreaks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=86) and ask for assistance in acquiring the best firmware for your Mad Dog 16 X DVD9-External DVD Burner. If you are unaware Mad Dog does not manufacture DVD Burners but purchase them from NEC and put them in Mad Dog Boxes. If I remember correctly the Mad Dog 16 X DVD9-External DVD Burner is actually the NEC ND-3520. Suggest referring to the “Read First” posting in the beginning of the NEC DVD Burner Forum detailed information on installing NEC firmware on a Mad Dog DVD Burner.

Best Regards,
