Så har jeg allerede fået svar fra LG igen, og denne gang MED en endnu nyere firmware, end alle dem som er nævnt !

"Hi
Here comes the latest software version for RH7000 series
I just arrived so I have not got any information what it will fix but I hope it is ok any way.

b.r.
XXXXX XXXXX"

Jeg har modtaget version 51214A til 7x00 (dvs. 7500, 7800, 7800H, 7900 og 7900H).

Der står intet om hvilke bugs/features der er i denne version, så det er på EGET ANSVAR.

Så snart jeg har fået prøvet den, skal jeg nok skrive tilbage, men den ER fra LGE Nordic !

Venligst post jeres oplevelser med denne firmware, i denne tråd.

Jeg har smidt den op på http://test.pier.dk/dvd/LG%20RH-7xxx/Firmware/51214A/

I have already received an answer from LG again, this time with an even newer firmware, than all the versions mentioned before.

"Hi
Here comes the latest software version for RH7000 series
I just arrived so I have not got any information what it will fix but I hope it is ok any way.

I have received version 51214A til 7x00 (for the 7500, 7800, 7800H, 7900 and 7900H).

It says nothing about which bugs/features, the version covers, so it is AT YOUR OWN RISC.

As soon as I have tried it, I will post again in this thread. This IS the official firmware from LGE Nordic !

Please post Your experiences with this new firmware, in this thread.

I put it on my server at http://test.pier.dk/dvd/LG%20RH-7xxx/Firmware/51214A/

Tweakradje, will You inform the guys at the French sites and all the other sites you're member of ?

Justin will You also please post, to the sites You've been mentioning ealier dvdforum and clubfreaks ?

Please refer to THIS thread, so all people can post their experiences in here - think it is in it place, to keep recordere.dk central for info, as it is in here the 51214A was introduced :-)

Thanks :-)

tweakradje skrev:        Thanks a lot Anders (and LG Sweden if that is the source ) LG Netherlands sucks. You will get a busy server tomorrow.... I will try to upgrade tonite and give a report tomorrow. Points of interest: - srt subtitle bug (no end time) - erasing DVD+RW data discs (not possible) - perhaps some fast DUBBING - perhaps better frame accurate editting - etc... Tweakradje ps: better remove your source at LG in your message.

Det var da vældig flinkt af dig biggo :-) Top nice.
Jeg har bare et spørgsmål, hvis feks. en tekst ser sådan ud:
1
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:31,281
Danske tekster af: Mr. Sub.

2
00:00:31,282 --> 00:00:31,283
Du sagde det ikke passede !

Altså hvis der er subtitles i 2, umiddelbart frame'n efter 1 er slut, hvad sker der så ? (hvis e.g. der er to hurtige subs efter hinanden).

Synes det er et k@non initiativ du der har taget, at lave en sådan lille applikation. Du skal da bare smide den op et sted, med en lille beskrivelse og linke til den i denne tråd eller lave en ny tråd !

biggo skrev: Det bliver spændende at se om "no end time" bug'en er blevet løst. Hvis ikke, har jeg netop lavet en lille applikation som muligvis kan løse problemet. Jeg kan af gode grunde ikke teste den, da jeg ikke selv har afspilleren. Applikationen sætter simpelthen en tom linje ind i et enkelt frame efter hver dialog, og burde derved fjerne den forrige tekst. Vi må så bare ikke håbe at afspilleren ikke ignorerer tomme linjer. Sig til hvis det har interesse, så skal jeg smide programmet op et sted. Anders

i would like to know if the new firmware allow playback of xvids with higher resolution than 720 pixels

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.

Also be sure to check my firmware-update guide, for making / burning the firmware-cd with Nero (with screen-shots), as well as updating the recorder.

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.

- etc...

Ahh det ved jeg da ikke, det kan da være nogle ikke tør FW opgradere deres afspiller - så er dit program et godt supplement og ikke så risiko-fyldt :-)
