DVD RW Compatibility for MSI MEGA651

Can anyone recommend a DVD Re Writer for use with an MSI 651? Will all MSI optical drives work as a CD player in HiFi mode? As far as I can tell DVD playback doesn't work in HiFI mode. Currently got an ancient Sanyo 32x cd ROM in mine, which doesn't play in HiFi mode, so want to be sure i'm upgrading with the right part....

All MSI optical drives will work fine, but that does not mean that other drives will not.

Q: Do I need a MSI propierarty CD/DVD-Rom player to be able to use the MegaPC as offline hifi station?
A: Probably not, MSI likes you to believe you do need something special though.
The problem is twofold:
1. The eject button sends a signal over the IDE cable that tells the drive to eject. The problem isn't in the sending to the drive, but receiving info from the drive (like status info, etc.). The VENDOR_IDs differs and every vendor uses different commands.
2. The MP3 playing part
The Bluebird VL+ handles both actions. Please be sure you have the latest version installed!

  • What DVD burners Compatable for Encore 2.0?

    Adobe has a link that is supposed to take you to a list of compatable dvd burners for Encore 2.0. When you download/view the PDF file, it states that the list is for Encore 1.5 (not 2.0). Is there really a list of compatable 2.0 dvd burners????

    Not seen one, but I have always found that my Pioneer burners have been very reliable.

  • 5700 - Where is the Serial Number to Install InterVIDEO Win DVD for MSI ?

    Hello every one,
    Do any one here knows where is the Serial Number for InterVIDEO WinDVD for MSI products ?
    I want to install it, but I cannot locate the key.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Edwin

    Deathstalker,
    Many thanks for your help. I found the Serial Number for my Intervideo WinDVD on the CD as you said.
    I know it was silly from me, but I confused the MSI CD Part Number "G71-bla bla" with the serial number.
    Maybe in the future, for me and all MSI users out there, a yellow label with the program serial number stamped on it can help to reduce silly questions like mine.
    Thanks again, and take care.

    5v=30A 3.3v=30A 12V1=18A and 12V2=18A (comb 12v=29A)

    Logitech regular wheel mouse PS2
    regular old 1.44 MB floppy drive
    Installing Win XP Pro upgrade (have my 98SE CD)
    In the future I will possibly ditch my scsi DVD rom and replace with NEC dual layer burner and replace Plextor CDRW with 52/32/52 CDRW/DVD ROM. For now I'm going with what I have.
    No plans to overclock now if ever. Perhaps a small amount later. Maybe 2.0 ghz? Maybe no overclocking at all.
    Not a gaming rig really, although I'll try the odd game at low resolution.
    So is there anything I should do ahead of time? I am carefully installing the board in the case and everything that goes with it. What sort of configuration setups should I do? Do I flash to a more updated BIOS first? Do I leave onboard things un-activated first? How do I setup my memory? For instance, I may look for the best BIOS to start with and have it ready to use if I have problems. I may also use the nVidia drivers for onboard audio instead of the realtek drivers.
    Not looking for all the answers, just feel free to point out any of the obvious which may save me time
    thanx in advance for any help

    There is a compatibility issue betwen the Matrox G series cards and the MSI  Neo Platinum motherboards, which AFAIK, hasn't been solved yet. The problem seems to be a result of changes made in the newer versions of the MSI bios, however you may be stuck if you need a newer bios for the Winchester cpu. You can find out more if you do a search on Matrox in this forum.

  • DVD-RW choice for Tecra M2

    Please,can anyone tell me what DVD/RW I can fit into my M2? Id also appreciate knowing if theres such a thing as a multi-region one available? Reason being that my current Teac DW-224E-A has run out of regional options and is fixed on Region 1.
    I had assumed that, because laptops were portable, you could watch DVDs all over the world,but thats not the case with the Teac.
    Appreciate advice on this. Thanks.

    Regarding DVD drive compatibility, please read this thread as Tecra M2 DVD caddy is same as M5: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=30468&tstart=0
    Regarding a Region-free drive, I'm not aware of any genuine part being capable of doing so.
    Suggest you Google for possible software solutions. Someone else here may be able to recommend something, but I couldn't possibly comment :-)
    If you only play two different regions, why not have one drive for each (the locked one you already have, plus a second)?

  • Anyone recommend reliable DVD-R media for big run?

    Hi All;
    I have a couple LARGE jobs coming up in the next few months , 100 disc copies per, and wondering what you all have had good luck with as far as dvd player compatability? (ie returns due to ' skips in my dvd player etc ...') I encode at around 4-5mbs with AC-3 audio... the program is roughly 95 mins on 1 disc.
    I have been using Maxell DVD-R's for last few small runs and have had good luck... I have a bunch of Ritek's coming from Ebay to test...
    thanks in advance...

    What a GREAT resource for information! Thanks for the post...
    We've been in the DVD business for almost 10 years now and in the early days, the only discs we used were Pioneer. Always great luck back then, but then again, discs were $100.00 each when we first started! Hey, the burner was $10K!
    Now, we stick with Maxell media. Also great luck. We've used Kodak with only a few bad spindles and I just purchased TDK for the first time. Great price at our local Costco.
    Good luck with your project. Buy high quality and pay more, but suffer no headaches in the end.

  • Where I can buy TPM for MSI Z77A-GD80?

    Hello,
    Can you tell me where (some online shop) I can buy TPM (Trusted Platform Module) for MSI Z77A-GD80?
    I found only this online shop https://shop.msicomputer.com/App/StoreFront/ProductDetail.aspx?ID=1421 but they cover only USA and Canada. I live in Europe.
    One solution is if some forum member who live in Canada or USA will buy that TPM and send me to Europe. Are there any members from Canada or USA? I'll pay you online.

    Here is about the only place I could find that may be able to help you.
    Read this guys report and then have a look at where he got his stuff from.

    Power DVD 3.0 or MSI DVD in XP?
    Wich is the best dvd program for win xp?

    MSI dvd works fine with XP, but may be you may consider use nvDVD (the nVIDIA player). Take a look at this thread:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/service/forum/index.php?threadid=1147&boardid=9&styleid=1.
    My opinion:
     -nvDVD: gold medal
     -PowerDVD4 XP+patches+any dvd tweaker, silver medal
     -MSI DVD player (WinDVD), bronze medal, or maybe no medal....

  • My Review for MSI Big Bang Xpower & Overclocked

    This will be the very 1st X58 big bang series of MSI and the 1st X58 MSI motherboard to have USB 3.0 and SATA 3 connections. Targets the enthusiast, hardcore gamers as well as overclockers. This board is already equipped with OC Genie buttons which was first implemented for MSI P55 series motherboards. YOu will also see later that instead of the old power, reset and Direct OC Easy Buttons. They are all now soft touch. PCI slots were also removed and been replaced by PCIEx16. There will be x6 PCIEx16 slots for this board ready for multi gpu setups. Military Class Components are also implemented into the board like Solid Caps, better chokes and server grade caps.
    Here you will see that the components around the socket area are well layout and very good in quality. These are Hi-C Cap on PWM and super ferrite chokes. Im sure this will provide the best efficient voltage to the processor during normal use and as well as during overclocking. See the two 8pin power connector for the Processor? This will provide more headroom for overclocking the processor especially for Gulftowns
    Forgot to mention other things like The board has V-Check points to measure actual voltage for CPU Vcore, VTT, DDR and IOH. Debug led indicator for easy isolation of boot up problems or mobo problems. Jumper for removing voltage wall limits and lastly the board includes an audio card for best audio experience.
    So next these are the rear ports
    Bundled Accessories. Sata cables, Sata power, IDE cable, USB 2.0 Bracket, eSATA Pack, M-Connectors, V-check Cables and a great gadget for overclocking the board on the fly "OC Dashboard" (shows also the current temps, and voltages)
    For some serious 2D Bench Results and overclock on air
    First run. 4.6ghz Spi32M
    Second run. 4.8ghz Spi32m

    What were your settings to get those overclocks?

  • Brain food for MSI engineers, malware in MSI hardware

    Good Morning Everyone,
    This is for MSI engineers, I will be happy if you can sort out this problem or in any case this email will help you design your systems better in the future. Let me start by thanking MSI engineers for doing a great job, I love and enjoy the MSI products and services. Thanks for doing a great job. Now to the problem...
    I have an old PC based on G31TM-P21 mother board. I have gifted it away to my friends/students and they came back to inform me that it does not work. It puzzled me and I used Wire Shark network analyser to find an IGMP protocol based beacon running over it. Now this poor PC is an ordinary desktop and was never intended to use protocols like IGMP that contacts ICANN, it is even more curious to find that firewall that comes free with Windows Vista actually will never block this IGMP protocol because VISTA does not expect home users to use IGMP protocol. Anyway, I reinstalled everything and in a couple of days the guys were back complaining that system no longer boots and this time I found out that system is in actually in halt state, the CPU fan is running and everything is fine but system just does not reach POST screen. I cleared CMOS and reached BIOS setup. I enabled the option to not to halt on any error in BIOS and viola the system was up and running in no time. I wish the troubled ended there but the guys came back after couple of weeks with the usual trouble that system dose not work. I cleared the CMOS and again reached the BIOS setup and disabled the USB controller and hey presto the system is online again although no USB hardware can be used over it. Enable the USB controller and bang everything goes down again.
    This IGMP beacon seems to be platform independent because I had installed windows/linux on the system but it does not seem to go away even after formatting the hard drive and zeroing/clearing every sector. The beacon just gives away the identity of the system on web and then the malware writer finds out what I have done to fix the system and then he moves on to improve the malware.
    All right, MSI guys can always point and tell me that TPM module option was there and it would have avoided this malware attack on motherboard.
    Now, I love the MSI idea of taking the back up of BIOS but I wish they can give a similar kind of option for firmware also.
    I personally believe the system is toasted but any update to fix this trouble will be great.
    I "guess" malware author has reprogrammed the south bridge of the motherboard because thats where the USB controller is located. I wonder why the option of reprogramming ASICs is there on the motherboard. I wish there was some kind of jumper to make these chips read only and stop these kind of destructive online attacks.
    That was long email, if you made it to the end then thanks a lot for your time and patience. Have some coffee and have a great day.
    Ciao,
    protob
    PS: The TOSHIBA (Linux) and Sony (VISTA) laptops that I am using right now seems to have caught the same malware. This is MSIs great opportunity to improve the hardware+marketing and take over the market. :-)

  • What is the best and reasonably priced external cd/dvd optical drive for an Imac 21.5 inches from late 2009?

    What is the best and reasonably priced external cd/dvd optical drive for an Imac 21.5 inches from late 2009?

    A lot of people have a Mac where the superdrive has been taken out to be replaced with a harddisk. Try to find a friend who has done that, give him a beer and take the superdrive, then buy a superdrive container from OWC or another for  afew dollars and put it in there. This slimdrive container has a USB connector. There you go.

  • What setting in Toast for creating a DVD-R master for replication?

    I just Downloaded the new Toast 7 Titanium.
    What setting should I use to burn a DVD-R to send in for replication?
    Someone else said DVD-ROM UDF
    There is also a "Make Video DVD from VIDEO_TS folder"
    Which one?

    Sorry peeps! haven't looked here for awhile... (been really really busy...)
    Don't use either of those options unless you know what you're doing and you know what dvdsp is doing!
    If the dvd-r is for replication then you should check region 7 to make the disc region all. It used to be checked by default but is not any longer...! Then when you format set the Output Device to Hard Drive and the Output Format to .img
    Now in Toast you select Copy>Image File. Burn two copies at as slow a speed as possible. It's worth knowing, some say that writing at rated speeds is best but from the many many times I've seen recordable media issues it seems that writing slower solves the problem more than the other way around!
    Doing that will mean that your disc remains Region All, unlike if you use a Build to the Hard Drive and burn with Toast. You can control the burn speed & you don't have to worry about removing the .LAY, .layout files etc.
    Some versions of Toast are helpful, version 6.0.7 or later has options which will remove any files that shouldn't be in the VIDEO_TS directory for you, makes sure an empty AUDIO_TS folder is included etc but that doesn't help you much if DVDSP doesn't let you control the region flags with Builds to the Hard Drive. Using an .img solves all that.
    If you use the Data>Advanced>DVD-ROM (UDF) option you should use DVDAfterEdit or MyDVDEdit to correct the regions settings. Then manually remove the .LAY, .layout, PAR folder etc that should not be in the VIDEO_TS folder.
    If you use the Video>Advanced>DVD-Video from VIDEO_TS folder you still need to correct the regions setting but Toast removes all the other 'stuff' for you and adds the (empty) AUDIO_TS folder.
    FWIW, when you Format & Burn direct to disc out of DVDSP it does as it's told. The .LAY, .layout etc files are removed (see the log) and the regions ALL setting is as you'd expect.
