I never get an error message I guess I don't have any issues with Image Burn. Since all I burn Wii game downloads with is Image Burn, I wanted to know how I can burn at a slower speed than 4x because I am wasting a lot of discs. (I use Any DVD & Clone DVD for movies.) The discs I use can be used as low as 1x but I can't go lower than 4x (with the optiarc) or 2x (with the Lite-on) I was trying to figure out why I can't burn to the lowest speed offered by the Discs It can't be the firmware because I flashed each drive to the latest firmware with no change in results

I just want the option in case I want to use it. I have no problems with movies on either drive. I have burned 100's of discs at 20x & 24x without a single coaster. My concerns are with downloaded Wii games. I must have wasted about 30 or 40 discs in the last 4 or 5 weeks. I use nothing but Taiyo Yudens 8x DVD-R or Verbatim 8x DVD-R for downloaded Wii games. Every web site in existence, pertaining to Wii games, says to burn the iso image files with Imageburn. I could only burn at 4x on the Optiarc and 2x on the Lite-on. I just wanted to re-burn the files at a slower speed in hopes of cutting down on my waste. Thanks for the drive info. Happy New Year!!!

I really don't have any complaints or issues with using Image Burn 2.5.0 My concerns are with the burn speeds. I use Verbatim 8x DVD-R DataLifePlus P/N 94854 Discs made in Taiwan. I have a Sony Optiarc 24x Burner AD-7240S and A Lite-On LH-20A1s 20x burner. I can only burn as low as 4x with the Verbatims on the AD-7240S and as low as 2x With the Lite-on LH-20A1S. I know the Verbatims can burn as low as 1x. I updated both firmwares on both drives to the latest available but this had no effect on the burn speeds. Does anyone know of a DVD burner that will let me burn at 1x with imageburn?? No guessing please. I need the actual model number. My OS is Vista Ultimate 32x. Thank You in advance.

I am using Image burn 2.5.0 to burn .iso files to either Verbatim Datalifeplus part number 94854 8x DVD-R discs or Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD-R Discs. I have a Sony Optiarc DVD RW AD-7240S burner and an Asus P5K-E Motherboard and Intel E8400 CPU with 2gb of RAM. Either of these discs are supposed to have a minimum write speed of 1x. Whenever I use imageburn to burn a disc it scans either disc and reports that the default (slowest) writing speed is 4x. I try to set it slower but 4x is as slow as it will let me go. Even if I choose 1x or 2x it states in the log that the write speeds are mismatched and continues to write at 4x. Since all I have ever used are DVD-R discs what am I doing wrong?? Could it be the book type??This is a copy of my write log during an actual burning of a disc: I 18:30:32 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!
