A little bit of a followup, after trying a firmware update for the LG
GH22NP20 - the file executes in regular environment, and apparently
didn't screw anything up, and did make a few changes, but nothing like
gettring the drive back to normal. Main change is in how Nero start
smart reports the contents of the drive , now rather than saying a
dvd-r with video files on it has a capacity of 0 bytes, its reported
as a blank dvd-r of 4.38 Gb capacity. Hopefully it still records, but
I'm caught up on archiving at the moment so will test that later.
Guess there's not much point in putting this in a different machine to
see if it behaves differently, I feel like the drive itself is what
suffered any changes that occurred.
