LF-D310 DVD-RAM Problems

This drive has racked up a respectable number of posts by frustrated owners. Whether that is a reflection of its quality or simply its popularity is harder to say. Of course, there are also a number of posts from satisfied owners, though even those tend to add the caveat "could be faster."

Burning Software

Some threads blame problems on the burning software that came with the drive. this thread can be summarized as:

  • DVD-RAM works, CDs work, but can't burn DVD-Rs with either supplied software or Nero 5.5.8.0.
  • Reply points to a thread which is more easily found here) recommending Prassi software, but that's been bought by Veritas, sold as StompIt! RecordMax 4.0. Poster can't get that one to burn DVD-Rs either.
  • Reply recommends upgrading ASPI drivers. Poster tries that with no luck as well.
  • The final resolution was that the poster was able to fix the problem by uninstalling EZ-CD Creator. Sounds like another case of drivers fighting over a drive. I sure hope the next version of Windows solves some of these driver wars!
