Title: New 1.32 firmware for 722

It dosn't look like they've done anything about the "media too slow" problem, so keep bugging them. :)

also 1.32 supposedly fixes the repeated segment failure (garbage looping) problem.

While we're on the topic, anyone seen the media sense problem since installing 1.32?

I only pulled off one show from the weekend and yes, the first file got the media too slow error. The resulting file loops the recorded data for about 2 hours before starting a new folder, which conviently begins with the second song of the show. The rest of the show is fine. Also, the md5's checked out for the trashed first file, not that it really matters...

Exactly. In effect, the machine simultaneously wrote the repeating garbage file for 1+ hours and the "good" file containing the rest of the set for another 1+ hours. Obviously, the drive was able to keep up.
