Should I burn faster or slower???
(LightScribe Dual-Layer, but connected via USB 1!)
I was burning at 4x with re-writable DVDs (and internal drive) because that speed was recommended somewhere on here (don't remember, it was weeks ago). Reasoning was too slow can lead to buffer under-runs. Some of those DVDs skipped a little, sometimes.
Now, I'm burning (the same files) to Verbatim LightScribe DVD+R DL (MKM-003-00). I followed this Guide (burning to Double-Layer) exactly: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=4643. It recommended burning at 2.4x which is even slower than I burned by DVD-RWs. All 6 videos on it skip a little.
Per http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000 I should be burning at 8x:
My drive is a few years old. It's a Samsung SH-S203N, firmware version SB01. The thing is, my new computer has a motherboard problem, and my old one doesn't support SATA, so right now I can only burn LightScribe and Dual-Layer DVDs using a USB-to-SATA adapter plugged into the front USB port (not 2.0). I think maybe the burning is too slow for these discs, but will USB be too slow for 8x? Should I go lower than 2.4x???
These discs are very expensive, and they're the only LightScribe Dual-Layer on the market, so I hope someone will have the experience and knowledge to guide me in the correct choice.
Thanks!
