Fixed Plextor Dvd Burner slow Reads Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page
Just found out why my Plextor Dvd burner 708A reads slower than what i thought it was supposed to ....
It was taking me about 50 minutes to read a duel layer Dvd and about 25 minutes for a single layer.

I found the following on another site:

Q My Plextor PX-708A drive only reads DVD-Video discs at 2x! Can't I make it go any faster than that?

A Yes, you can 'unlock' the drive by making sure the drive is empty and closed. Then press and hold the drive's eject button for about three second until the drive's LED flashes green three times. Release the eject button so that the drive's tray will open. Now insert a DVD-Video disc and voila the drive reads faster. When you eject the disc or when you cut the drive's power, the PX-708A will be reset to 2x reading again.

Tried it and it worked great, Now reading Duel layer Dvd's in 25 mins and Single Layer in 10 minutes...

The PX-708A only limits reading speed when you have a CSS protected disc.
If you do the reset "trick", then CSS-discs are read as without CSS.
