--RS Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hi Folks, On my Vista notebook the drive seems to refuse to burn Verbatim CDs at 4x! It chooses 12x! Destination Device: [0:0:0] HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T40N JP01 (E:) (ATA) Destination Media Type: CD-R (Disc ID: 97m17s06f, Moser Baer India) (Speeds: 10x, 16x, 24x) Write Speed Miscompare! - Wanted: 176 KB/s (1x), Got: 2,117 KB/s (12x) Average Write Rate: 1,758 KB/s (10.2x) - Maximum Write Rate: 1,783 KB/s (10.4x) These lines summarize my logfile. Can anything be done, here? On DVD-DLs it does write at 4x! Under XP the Destination Media Type is different: Destination Media Type: CD-R (Disc ID: 97m17s06f, Moser Baer India) (Speeds: 4x, 10x, 16x, 24x, 32x, 40x) I tried different numbers besides 4x! All to no avail! Thanks, --RS cd_ai2404.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 You can only burn at a speed listed as supported by your drive. Notice that the slowest speed listed by your drive is 10x and that's the speed it burned the disc (it wrongly reported 12x but that's probably a bug in the drive's firmware). As for this... Destination Media Type: CD-R (Disc ID: 97m17s06f, Moser Baer India) (Speeds: 4x, 10x, 16x, 24x, 32x, 40x) This is a different burner, and, as such, supports different write speeds. Anyway, the drive should be able to make a good burn with any of the available speeds. Are you experiencing any problems? If so, please describe.
