Must be. Just bought a pack of 75 Memorex dvd's and they are burning at 8x. Problem solved.

Yeah its the latest version, A306. Tried downflashing to the latest one on the LG website which was A303 and burn speed was 4x. Said supported speeds for the DVD was 2x, 4x. I meant DVDShrink using the Nero engine. It says 8x but your right it may not be burning at that speed. If my drive was going faster then my PC could handle wouldn't other DVD's only write at 6x as well?

Yeah every dvd so far(used around 45) has burned at 6x using DVDD and ImgBurn. I'm assuming its the firmware but why would they do that? Cheap memorex dvd's run at 8x plus nero burns the dvds at 8x. The buffers are fine... even upped the cache. Using a Maxtor 160gb 8mb cache drive.

Hey! Would just like to say i've been using your program for a long time. Great work! For some reason Sony DVD-R's(8x) write only at 6x. I've tried other programs and they burn at 8x. All other dvd's ive used work fine as well. Here's some info: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4160B A306 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD-R Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 2,298,496 Free Space: 4,707,319,808 bytes Free Time: 510:48:46 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 4x, 8x Pre-recorded Information: Manufacturer ID: SONY08D1 It's not really a problem as I don't really care(6x is fine) but I thought I would point it out. Also it does the same with DVD Decrypter(just so you know). Good Luck and thanks for a great program!
