I contacted Acard support in the US and they acknowledged the download page wasn’t working; they had it back up within a day. I downloaded the latest firmware, which was just one version newer than what I had. Now I can burn five discs at once, the burns look uniform and they all verify.

Then, another problem. The controller display would get dim and it would reboot, stopping the burn process and ruining the discs. The power supply was holding okay so I replaced the power adapter cable (IDE to SATA), the display remained bright and the burning process went uninterrupted.

I think I have 100 hours in the authoring process and duplication process; most of the time was spent overcoming the frustrations of Adobe Encore 5.1 Perhaps I’ll have another project and everything will go smooth.

Thanks for your correspondence.

Thanks for the response! I tried all burning speeds possible, 2x 4x 6x.

I went to the acard website for the latest firmware which is one version newer than what I have. There is something wrong with their website because I cannot download the file, says “link not forwarded correctly.” I tried downloading on a mac and a PC but neither worked. Perhaps acard will get the website working.

Another delay!

I discovered a similar post which said delete the preferences for FCP; I did and the AJA IoLA now captures video.

But the IoLA utility still says no video input. Has anyone ever seen the utility say there IS video?

Thanks,
