Why to burn at supported speeds only

Hi to all.

 

My question is about the write speed choosen by imgburn (and other softs too)

 

Why only burn with supported media speed only?

 

Technically, couldn't you force the burn at the speed you choose?

 

cause if a media can be burn at x6 x12 x16 x18, why couldn't it be at x1 x2 x2.4 x4 x8 x14?

 

What's the technical problem about this?

 

Thanks for advance for the explanations.

It's to prevent users from doing stupid things. :)

 

It's bad if you buy 16X DVD-R and burn it at 1X speed, lol, because 16X disc is not good for burning on low speeds. Same if you buy 4X DVD-R and burn it at 16X speed, its too fast for this media.

 

But, you can find hacked firmwares for Lite-On's, NEC's etc. which allow different speeds. Do this only if you know which DVD can be burned on other speeds. For example, I had 8X Verbatims which was burned perfectly on my hackes NEC at 16X burning speed.
