DVD writer marketleader Pioneer announced a warning about its drives over-heating problems. Some of us -- including myself -- have experienced these problems already, but now Pioneer itself has admitted the problems and has also released a fix to these problems.
Fix is merely a firmware upgrade that prevents DVD-R drives to overheat when burning a high-speed media, including 2x and 4x discs. Drives that are effected:
Pioneer DVR-104 and DVR-A04
Pioneer DVR-103 and DVR-A03
Pioneer DVR-7000 (pro drive)
Pioneer PRV-9000 (pro drive)
And just to clarify; Mac's "SuperDrive"s are either Pioneer A03 or Pioneer A04 models.
