I'm seeing on various forums that the Pioneer 202 burner can not handle 50 gig media, are they right???. also does anyone know of a safe web site for a firmware update to my Pioneer 202 burner. Gary

Hi Gary,

True, single layer only- don't even think about using non official firmwares.

Hi friend, thanks for the heads up, can't fine an "Official" update site, any help. Gary

If I'm not mistaken none of those early pioneer drives will ever be able
to do 50gb media with a firmware update.

Thats why I waited for a drive that would accept 50GB from the beginning.

still looking for an official firmware site, to burn newer 1-4x BD's my 202 currently will only see 1-2X's panasonics. any idea where to look. Gary

should be this one listed:
BDR-202, BDR-202BK

BDR202_FW108EU.ZIP


Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure the firmware installers these days
check hardware before running an update so you can't brick a
drive if its the wrong firmware.

Thanks loads Rex, I'll give it a go later today...Gary

For some reason It gives me an internal error and wont let me update my BDR-202...

I am also unable to get my disks to playback on any blu ray player that I can get my hands on.  It says burned successfully once finished in DVDitPro and I can see the burn mark but nothing plays it...  Maybe a bad drive?
