Well I was able to get the firmware upgraded to 2.0f but I am still getting an error:
trackno=0 dvdrecord: Input/output error. reserve track: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: 53 00 00 00 00 FF FF FF FF 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 12 00 00 00 00 24 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x5 Illegal Request, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x24 Qual 0x00 (invalid field in cdb) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 0.006s timeout 200s dvdrecord: Cannot open new session. Has anybody been able to solve this problem? Thanks, Scott Volker Kuhlmann said: >> I am trying to use dvdrecord with my sony DRX-500ULX drive (connected >> via USB).
