LG FirmWare - seneste version?

Ahh, I thought it was normal DVD+RW Video discs.
How did You format the disk Tweakradje ? With Nero ? I know Nero sometimes gives problems, when formating +/-RW disks.

Instead try to format from DVDInfo Pro, and see if it works then.

In my manual (Danish) for the recorder, on page 5 it is stated that that +/-RW disks formated elsewhere, than on the recorder - cannot be formated on the recorder. This in not a bug as such, but merely how the disk itself is initialized/formated. These problems also occur on computers with regular DVD+/-RW drives (I've seen quite a couple, when formated in Nero).

In my

I was talking about DVD+RW data discs: DVD+RW discs (quick/full) formatted on the computer or DVD+RW discs with DivX/XviD/MP3, etc. files. Tweakradje mentioned this problem in his list of problems: - Erasing DVD+RW data discs. Indeed, erasing/initializing/formatting empty DVD+RW discs, DVD-Video DVD+RW discs or DVD+RW VR discs is possible.

Hi again Tweakradje.

Did You read my ealier post today ?

It says in the manual for the player, on page 5 in the RH 7500 manual, at the buttom:
"If a DVD-RW/DVD+RW discs is recorded using a personal computer or other DVD recorder, you cannot format the disc using this recorder."
So You will have to re-format the disk, with the same program, as You did the first time You formated the disk.

Maybe DVDinfo Pro, can do the trick ? Otherwise, this is NOT a bug, also very common on a PC - if Nero (which is bad for formating DVD +/-RW) formated the disk, I have seen quite a bit of trouble, re-formating it elsewhere (on a PC).

Didn't quite understand what You mean by "I am anxious to see what other DATA burn programs to a DVD+RW"

This is the new firmware 51214A for LG RH-7x00 harddisk recorders.
The firmware has been released by LG Electronics Nordic.
It can be used for the following LG RH-7x00 models
(according to the earlier version 50617A description):
RH-7500, RH-7800, RH-7800H and RH-7900H

! Update with/to this firmware at Your OWN RISC !
I am NOT to be held responsible, for any damages or faulty updates to Your recorder !

! VERY IMPORTANT !
1) NEVER switch off the recorder during an update.
2) Wait for the update to finish successfully (when the Firmware-CD has been ejected after the update).
3) After the update has finished, please remember to switch the recorder off, and then on again - for the new firmware to load, and fixes to work.

The firmware 51214A can be downloaded here.

Before You start the update, check Your current firmware to see whether this firmware is older or newer, than Your current one.

For checking Your current Firmware-/Loader- info on RH 7x00:
Press ("Setup", "Lock icon", "7", "8", "8", "9").

It should look something like this (versions on Your recorder may vary):
SET: Ver=51214A Cware=prod045 BSP=23 FME
IO: Ver=R02(D17), Loader: v.30

The Loader version is NOT affected by this firmware-update,
nor is Your recorder's current settings or channel-tunings.

Features / issues addressed in firmware 51214A:

- Remember subtitle setting, for XviD/DivX movies, e.g. LATIN-2.
  Corrected in firmware 51214A.

- .srt / .sub subtitle bug in XviD / DivX movies (no end time).
  (e.g. subtitles in XviD / DivX, are no longer displayed permanently).
  Corrected in firmware 51214A.

- Rewind / Fast forward when playing XviD/DivX movies.
  (NOT to be confused with goto/search by time).
  Will not be corrected by this, nor future firmwares / software,
  according to factory - hardware issue / hardware bound.
  (Info from LGE Nordic).

- Fast DUBBING to DVD of edited material.
  (e.g. FAST copying to DVD, after commercials have been cut away).
  Will not be corrected by this, nor future firmwares / software,
  according to factory - hardware issue / hardware bound.
  (Info from LGE Nordic).

- Using the recorder,
  while a timerbased/programmed recording is running.
  Will not be corrected by this, nor future firmwares / software,
  according to factory - hardware issue / hardware bound.
  (Info from LGE Nordic).

- Having to switch off the recorder,
   for a timerbased/programmed recording to start.
  Will not be corrected by this, nor future firmwares / software,
  according to factory - hardware issue / hardware bound.
  (Info from LGE Nordic).

- Erasing DVD+RW data discs.
  As stated on page 5 in the RH 7500 / RH 7800 manual, at the buttom:
  "If a DVD-RW/DVD+RW discs is recorded using a personal computer
  or other DVD recorder, you cannot format the disc using this recorder."
  So You will have to re-format the disk,
  with the same program/dvd-writer, as You did the first time You formated the disk.

- Better frame accurate editting.
  (e.g. cutting away commercials).
  Not tested yet.

- High Definition DivX / XviD support (1280 x 720 @ 30 fps),
  according to: http://www.divx.com/certification/technical.php.
  Not tested yet.

Hi all - just did a small firmware-update guide, for creating the firmware-cd in Nero (with screen-shots). Also did a small guide for the firmware-update, on the recorder.

You can get it here.
