Help Me Write Iso Level 2 Cd-rom For Dvd Player Firmware Upgrade

[allan_zip]

Hope someone can help me out.
I'm trying to upgrade the firmware on my Philips dvp630 dvd player. The instructions tell me to write both dvpxx.rom and dvpxxdv.rom files onto a blank cd-r, using the following settings:
File system CD-ROM ISO level 2
Mode 1/2/XA
Character set ISO 9660
Finalised, single session
Write speed slow (eg 2x or 4x)

I have the files and have tried to write a disc in Toast Titanium 6 under the ISO 9660 setting but the disc is not working in the dvd player (tried twice). I'm unclear about the ISO level 2 setting and the mode 1/2/XA setting as neither seem to be options in toast (ISO level 1 is there ok). Can anyone guide me through this or suggest where i might be going wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

As far as I know, Finder burns ISO 9660 discs at level 2 by default (as a hybrid with HFS support as an add-on, as a generic multi-platform format). Level 1 is the older DOS compatible format with filenames no longer than 8 characters and a 3 character extension (8.3). Level 2 added 32 character filename support.

You might take some encouragement from this:

I just upgraded the firmware in my Philips 642 ... to 0531. I made the upgrade CD using Mac OS X, burning a disc at 1x with the Finder. As a Mac user, I expect things to work the first time, but I'm
still pleasantly surprised.

Cheers. I'll give it a spin and see if it works.

No joy. I'm just getting a root directory folder on the data cd menu.

EDIT: got it working, a third file from the download is meant to be included in the burn despite the instructions stating otherwise.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

Too fast for me - I was about to suggest Burnz (which will do strict ISO 9660) - glad you got it sorted.
