PlexWriters will normally produces a SafeDisc 2 back-up that will only work in the same writer. Supposedly when firmware 1.4 is used, this problem is solved. But not always! There are different kinds of PlexWriters: you can see this at the TLA number. This number is written on the package of the writer or on the writer itself. There are some TLA numbers that cannot read/write the 96 bytes of SubChannel Data. And the same goed for SafeDisc 2...

Unfortunatelly there is no list available with TLA numbers that do and don't work with SD2 and FW1.4... Well I do know that #0101 doesn't work, but that's about it. I think that PlexWriters that can read/rite the Subs will also be able to back-up SD2 with FM1.4, but I'm not sure about this.
