I have one LG DVD-Writer and one LG CD-Writer. When I was burn on DVD set the burn speed 4X. Later burned a couple of CDs with CD-Writer successfuly. Of course increased write speed too(24X) for CDs.
Yesterday I started to burn CD with CD-Writer but ImgBurn was selected DVD-Writer in droplist at startup. I don't know why wasn't set latest setting. What so ever, I switched to CD-Writer from combobox. Began to write. Unfortunatly couldn't burn, failed. Looked at ImgBurn log. This is what I saw:

I understood that because of low write speed. I was forget to change write speed. Is there an option to switch whole settings between two different writers? I hope explained enough. One more thing, I don't use MAX speed any time.
