I need your help!



I am trying to record on to DVD+R Dual Layer DVDs.



I cannot find the firmware update anywhere. When I go to the DVD manufacturers website all update appear to be for windows only.



Does anyone have a link to the upgrade for my Macs pioneer DVD drive?



Your help would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks



Tom

    We need to know which pioneer drive that you have!



    But assuming that it's a recent model Pioneer internal drive, let me answer your question:



    go here: http://lasvegas.rpc1.org/



    download the firmware updater



    Go to the pioneer website, download the latest firmware for windows. Uncompress it and take out only the actual drivers.



    Use the firmware updater to update the drive.





    All of these types of questions can be answered at www.xlr8yourmac.com so you should check it out sometime.

    The updater link is on the page that I mentioned above. Find the right version for Mac OS X.

    As for the firmware files, I discovered that it requires a windows machine to extract the firmware. I must've used VPC. It's been a while so I forgot about that part.



    You need to access a Win PC or find a friend that can help you out.



    FYI, the link to the Pioneer page is:
