Mad Dog 6-in-1 Dominator Playback Problems

I recently bought the Mad Dog Dominator 6-in-1 DVD drive; using Nero Express and Alcohol 120% I seemingly am able to burn discs successfully, but alas, they won't playback on any thing other than the Mad Dog burner.

I've tried a number of different types of burnable DVDs (Memorex, Verbatim, TDK, Platinum) on a number of different players (Toshiba laptop, Mintek DVD player, Playstation 2) but nothing works.

Doing some research, it looks like the drive is a repackaged VOM-12E originally made by Artec - there is a firmware update available here:
http://www.artecusa.com/tech-support-firmware.html

Anyone else have similar problems with their drive and any ideas on how to make discs that work on other devices?

My specs:
P4 2.4
512 RAM
XP
Mad Dog Dominator 6n1 drive

Cheers . . .

Re: Mad Dog 6-in-1 Dominator Playback Problems

you dropped some brand names and a few set tops, but are you trying burns +R -R or both?

oops - i'm trying to burn R+ - I haven't tried R- yet. I have a couple of burned DVDs that are R+ that work fine on the other devices, so I just figured they would work.

Re: Mad Dog 6-in-1 Dominator Playback Problems

it's really a bit of a trick........for the most part, set tops have the reputation of liking -r. When I started burning, bought -r...thought good to go, they didn't work....

After tweaking.....lots of hours reading...tweaking more...still bad burns for the set top. (all would play fine on the pc btw)

My luck...I have a samsung set top that likes +r.....lol It wasn't the burner....
