In every CD/DVD Writer, firmware containing EPROM Chip will be inserted into DVD Drives .To update DVD Writer firmware we must know its firmware version.So let’s take a look at how we can find firmware version of DVD Writer with Nero Info tool.
For every DVD Writer connected the Computer we can download its latest firmware update from manufacturer’s Website.For that we should know the DVD Writer firmware version.With the help of Nero Info tool we can find that very easily.
1.Download and extract contents of Nero Info Tool archive to a folder
2.Run Nero Info Tool , this too will retrieve all the information about CD/DV Writer connected to your Computer including firmware version .
3..You can save the report generated by Nero Info tool in a text file for future reference.
Note:Nero Info Tool restarted my Windows 7 system while retrieving information from my DVD Writer though it worked fine and shown details about DVD drive without any problems in Windows XP.
freeware ImgBurn has been displaying burner firmware version on load for years.
why celebrate costly system invasive bloatware like nero?
@meh
Sorry you might haven’t read the post Nero Info Tool is free utility from Nero which provides more information about your DVD Writer.
My bloatware comments stands
Nero tool: 4.6 megs
ImgBurn: 1.6 megs
[v2.4.2.0]
ImgBurn can fetch updated firmware, provide feature/stats about the burner… and function as a full featured burning application.
The Nero Tool is light in function and heavy in size.
If I wasn’t transcoding video now I would run Nero Tools in vmware and capture what I suspect will be a host of unwanted changes to the system merely by running their tool.
ImgBurn does not require installation. The ONE file needed for operation, a windows executable, can be extracted from the installation wrapper. Not surprisingly the same cannot be said for the nefarious line of nero burning products.
For drive information in ImgBurn
tools: drive: capabilities

Please consider instead recommending ImgBurn as Nero does the user no favors.
