This sounds plausible, although i would heavily complain towards the seller if i ever found out. There is few chance i would step into this puddle when recording and reading own data. Any good keywords to search for ? All tries bring me to Macbook drives where it is hard to distinguish between hardware and software. Of course if Apple orders a shipload of drives with custom firmware add-ons, then Matsushita will probably produce them. There are whole online communities which have chosen DVD cheating as their favorite sport. Something about: "Matshita Flasher", a software without visible authorship, and "RPC-1 good, RPC-2 bad". Summary for now: Apple-way-of-life. Not automatically updated unless possibly if you run Apple's OS. DVD rather than BD. Malware ? No. Unfriendly ? Yes. Legal ? I fear. Have a nice day :) Thomas
