E' uscito il nuovo firmware per i modelli Philips 1628/1648 con tecnologia SolidBurn.
Version History
Initial release P1.1
• Released 1 June 2005
Changes from P1.1 to P1.2
• Released 10 August 2005
• Corrected LED behaviour for DVD (the LED was switched off during DVD writing and reading in firmware P1.1).
• This firmware does not contain Solidburn yet. This will enabled from firmware P2.x onwards.
Changes from P1.2 to P2.2
• Released 13 September 2005
• Added SolidBurn ™ technology when writing on DVD+R and DVD-R. SolidBurn ™ determines the best writing
strategy for DVD+R and DVD-R media automatically and maximizes the recording speed on these media.
More info can be found in a separate document (Philips introduces Solidburn.pdf).
• When SolidBurn ™ is used during writing, the LED will flash faster then normal.
What is Solidburn?
Philips introduces SolidBurn, a new self-learning feature that will ensure optimal writing
conditions for any recordable DVD+R or DVD-R media.
This advanced writer feature executes a series of tests on an ‘unknown’ DVD media to
determine the optimal writing strategy. Without SolidBurn, new DVD media and media that are
not in the media list of the drive, are written using a less optimal standard write strategy. This
could result in lower recording speeds than specified or lower quality recordings jeopardizing
disc playability or lifetime.
How does it work?
Before the disc is burned, the drive writes two very short tracks, one in the LeadIn and one in
the LeadOut area of the disc. Then the drive measures the jitter on both areas and decides if
this jitter value is OK or not. If not, the drive will choose another writing strategy and redo the
test until the Jitter is acceptable.
After this, the drive writes your data on the disc, with the best possible writing strategy, which
was found by SolidBurn.
Why SolidBurn?
Every disc sold has unique parameters. Mostly, these parameters are almost identical, but
sometimes, there are better and less good or even bad discs.
Normal drives will always use the same writing strategy, no matter if the disc inserted is a
good or a less good one. SolidBurn will adapt its writing strategy for each disc.
Normal drives who encounter a disc they do not know, will use a default writing strategy,
which is mostly not the best one. To guarantee better performance on unknown discs, regular
firmware upgrades are required. SolidBurn makes no difference between known and unknown
discs and will always choose the best writing strategy for each disc.
