The quality of written DVD-R media do indeed depend on the firmware version of the BTC drive - or any drive for that matter. Out of 10 Princo medias I have burned 1 good and 9 coasters with firmware 043 (latest). However after downgrading to version 039 I have now successfully burned 5 Princo medias and no coasters. Though firmware updates usually are for the better this is not the case with Princo DVD-R and the latest firmware for the BTC drive.
I did the same with my Nashua discs, reverting to 39 solved some problems but made the drive MUCH slower. Its a shame they dont have the old firmware's online.
Had to search rpc1.org for old firmware.
