HELP: SONY DVD RW DW-G120A is not supporting MoserBaer DVDs!
Hi guys!
I got SONY DVD RW DW-G120A DVD Writer yesterday!
But I faced one strange problem!
Its writing local DVD w/o ne problem but whenever I try to write MoserBaer DVD, its giving ERROR:
Illegal Disc
What can be the reason behind the problem? 
Is the problem in the DVD Writer itself or Sony DVD Writer doesnt support MoserBaer DVDs? 
Pls help me guys, I'm very disappointed with this Writer...

SOny's nothing but a **** copy of Liteon.In most of the forums I found posts which says SOny had many problems .
ANd @ vishal

Very few people have had problems with Sony drives. Which forums are you talking about?
MoserBaer is one of the best and most reliable makers of optical media.
And for your kind information, Sony dosen't make optical media. They source it from MoserBaer, put their own name on it and charge a premium.
What makes this Deepburner better than Nero? No one has even heard of it. Nero rocks. Why do you think all drives come bundled with Nero rather than other software?

thnx guys!
@infra_red_dude
thnx buddy!
I also found the same site while googling yesterday and didnt find ne firmware upgrade for this model!
I think its new and there is no upgrade for it...
[EDIT]
@mohit
I'm surprised man!
Why its not working for me?
All other medias r working fine but not MoserBaer!
And I also searched on net and found many reviews about the same that MoserBaer media doesnt work for this model!
I'm using Nero 6. May be thats the reason behind this problem!
I'll try Nero 7 asap.

Not true in all cases. I own a Sony DRU 810A which is Benq DW 1640 rebadged. I've crossflashed it to a BenQ so I can run BenQ QSuite.
To the original poster - you have just come across a bad(rejects)/fake/incompatible batch of discs. It's time to dump them and move on. Cut your losses, and be wary of what you get and where you get it from next time. OR, if you're lucky you could sell them to some sucker. Also, they may work fine in another drive.

This time, buy from another shop. Also try burning these discs with another burner. If nothing else works, move on to DVD+R's.

Post the media code for the Moser Baer India (MBI) dvd's that you're trying to burn.
Pop in a MBI disc, use Nero Info Tool and check for Manufacturer ID under Disc tab.
Is this code same for MBI discs that you've sourced from different stores? If yes, then there might be a compatibility issue.
Solutions -
Update firmware and hope the new firmware has an updated write strategy for your offending discs.
Don't use MBI discs.

Got it!
That was the reason behind all this problem!
Mine DVD writer firmware version is MYS1 and urs is MYS2...
So now the solution is to upgrade the firmware!
But how? As u said there is no firmware upgrade available on net, even I searched too...
Is there ne way to extract/save the firmware from urs DVD writer using ne s/w and then u can upload that on a host and then I'll be able to upgrade mine writer using that upgrade?
Now u r my last hope!!!

absolutely correct.
@chindi_chor
I've been using nero for writing DVD's for more or less 2 years now and it never gave me any problems that too on sony dvd writers on Moserbaer DVD's, they are always my first choice. Nero is one of the most popular Burning softwares and there are plenty of people who'd support that. You may run a poll if you want. 8)

It would be better if you keep your personal choices away in a query thread. Irrelevant replies in a thread on a regular basis wont be tolerated and stict actions would be taken if it is repeated once again any time soon.
