Bought a new dvd burner No more write speed miscompares same pack of dvd's Strange because I have used that dvd burner alot without problem.

So is there no hope for me? now about 1 in 4 burns dont work maybe buy a diffrent brand? anyone know of a good brand for slow writing?

I have been using the same brand dvd's from the same store for the past 50 backups never had a bad one until now never had the speed mismatch problem until now

when I try to burn at 2x it burns at 4x I have tried to research this on my own with no luck I have ready people trying to burn at 1x and getting 2.4x because this is the min allowed by the disk may this be my disks have a min of 4x? im using memorex dvd+rdl 8x My log gives an sptd error but from what I have read this may cause your drive to burn slowly any way here is my log thanks for the help I 21:53:38 ImgBurn Version 2.5.1.0 started!
