DVR-108 On It's Way

[JakeCourtney]

Now that I've got my Pioneer DVR-108 ordered and on it's way. Is there anything I should do to prepare for it's arrival. When I install it, should it be master or slave, right now I have a CD-RW writer as the slave. What are the best software for copying movies out right now. Should I upgrade my firmware with a hacked one? Thank's in advance.

Install the drive as Master. As far as software goes i use dvd decrypter and dvd2one without any problem. I use Nero to burn the files.

Yeah. I just installed it and everything. The computer bios and device manger list it as "PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108". I had an old Samsung DVD-ROM in there, replaced it with this burner. How it is listing three drives, the PIONEER, my CD-ROM writer, and somehow "Generic DVD-ROM SCSI CdRom Device"? I have tried serveral times to remove "Generic DVD-ROM SCSI CdRom Device" from the list. It keeps coming back. I insert DVD movies and the drive will not play them, it either says dirty disk, something about region, or it can't read the DVD. It seem's to work except for the lack of DVD support. Anything I should try? Driver download? Software? Any help?
