Change and Speed Up the Read and Write Speed for DVD Writers - MediaCodeSpeedEdit

Posted August 10th, 2008 by Mary Jane

Before continue reading today’s article, I’d like to warn you that this is for advanced users and if you don’t know what you’re doing, you CAN damage your DVD drive and will void your warranty.Did you know that it is possible to edit the read and write speed for a certain DVD writers? I didn’t know that it was possible until today.

I found a tool called Media Code Speed Edit (MCSE) which is able to make your DVD writer read and writer faster. For some DVD writers, the read speed can be increased up to 50%-100% with riplock patch. If you have LiteOn, Benq, PHILIPS, HP, LG, NEC, newer PIONEER, Cyberhome, Gigabyte, Samsung and Artec DVD writers, you have a good chance to play with MCSE and speed up your drive.

MediaCodeSpeedEdit allows you to change the write speed for your media and to add new media codes to your firmware by renaming an already available media code. The new media code name can be entered manually or can be imported from the DVD Identifier media code output to be sure that no special characters are lost. This kind of media code renaming will remove the original media code name from the patched firmware, so it is no longer supported by the firmware.

Real adding of additional media code names would mean to shift and extend all internal media code tables or patching all media code scanner for all supported firmwares, which would be a quite complex task. So don’t do it if you don’t know what you’re doing.

MCSE basically hack or edit the firmware for your DVD writer and then you flash the hacked firmware to update your DVD writer to support faster read or write speed. If you don’t know where to get your DVD writer’s firmware, you can search in Google or head to Media Code Speed Edit forum to get help. The below steps would give you an idea how MCSE works.
