RPC-2

RPC-2 term is used to refer to PC's DVD-ROM drives that are built after 1st of January, 2000.

Before that date, virtually all DVD-ROM drives permitted the user to change the region code settings of the drive freely when necessary, thus allowing watching/using DVD-Video movies from all over the world. Those older drives are called as RPC-1 drives.

This was changed when the MPAA forced hardware manufacturers to implement a new technology, dubbed as RPC-2 in their drives, that only allows max. 5 changes in the region code.

I also have the same problem with my sony d22a. After reading up on the d22a i discovered it takes 8x or less on writing speeds for -R, +R requires 16x or less. Try it, it works
