I am having a problem with sony dvd-rw dru720a model. recently it has stopped reading movie dvds and if it reads, the video is very jerky. my system is a AMD Athlon 64 3000+ on MSI RS480M2 motherboard with 512 MB DDR 400 RAM and 120GB SATA and 40GB PATA drives. it even has problems reading large files (~above 90MB). my technician has said that it is a drive problem and took the drive for repair. he returned the drive but still the problem has not sussided. I request help on this issue from the DIGIT forum members. Thank You

my technician has taken it for repair and returned it. i suppose he must have cleaned the lens. i also upgraded the firmware. still no use
