Updated manufacturer database. |
|
Added a work-around for rare situations where bad behaving

|
Due to drive limitations the detection of certified recording
speeds of DVD-R/-RW media has been removed. Note that the 'drive
capabilities'-section still returns the drive's write speed descriptors. |
|
Retrieval of write speed descriptors using the 'Mode
Sense'-command is turned back on by default since it is still often useful
when dealing with already written discs. |
|

Support for DVD-RAM. |
|
Added a warning
indicating that 8x DVD-R discs cannot be detected.
Even though 8x detection code is in-place no drives
currently report sufficient 'write strategy'-information to make this
work. Note that although 8x detection by analysis of the 'Media
code'-block currently does not work you will still get 8x write
descriptors if your drive is capable of writing at this
speed. |
|
Added a 'More info'-button that will redirect to an on-line resource that
contains additional information. |
|
Slightly different, more detailed method of reporting the
certified recording speeds of DVD+R/+RW discs.

help format. |
| Fixed a drive hang on (at
least) one type of DVD-R/-RW writer. |
|
Implemented a
workaround to solve the
issue
of getting no (or corrupted) disc information on some configurations with extra
IDE controllers. |
