Page 1 of Recording From PC to Philips DVDR 880

I have just tried to record A divX from my PC to Philips recorder with great succsess. All i need to know is i can record files that are over 120 minutes long on the 4.7GIG DVD+RW, and how. Will these discs playback in all dvd players.

Also will i be able to record on to DVD-R in the future

If you want to know what i transfered it was pulp fiction.

Yes you can record more than 120 minutes even though the DVD+RW disc only advertises itsself as going upto 120min. On the 880 player just press the `Select` button, you`ll cycle through the different modes

HQ - 60 min
SP - 120 min
LP - 180 min
EP - 240 min

By doing a firmware update (which I did on my 980 and it works fine) you can alsor ecord at 2.5hrs and 6hrs.

I have tried to upgrade the firmware as some threads explain how but mydvd player keeps comming up with disc error.

I downloaded the up grade
opened up the unzipped the files
transferred the 2 required files using nero.

left out the read me file so i hade 2 files on disc
put the disc in dvd player.but nothing what am i doing wrong.
I burned them using mode 2. Iso 9660

Where can I find the download for Firmware for the Philips DVDR880 ??
