I know he didn't ask about media or dye type but I'm just thinking out loud here.
One issue I have with this kind of thing is that a user could select the speed they want and THEN insert the disc.
The MRU speed for a given media (on whatever level it's implemented at) would then overwrite their selection and there's no way around that - other than to remove the option of setting write speed until the disc is in the drive.
It's almost never ending though because some people may like to burn different media at different speeds depending on the drive they're using.
It could also cause issues with the queue, which of course just configures that write speed box on the main page.
This suggestion is actually far from new, and as you've seen, I've not done anything about it so far. Normally it's about different speeds for CD / DVD though, or about having the write speed box limit to the speeds supported by the drive on that media.
first of all, thanks for the magnificent piece of software
second, sorry for digging this thread up, but i'm facing the same problems (SL vs DL speeds)
replying to your problem, i ask you if this can work out:
somewhere in a menu, you put a checkbox 'remember media type (or code) burn speed'
if this option is enabled, imgburn would start with that value pre-selected, but users would be able to chenge it afterwards, just like the current version
or:
you colud also add a dialog box (just like the benq advanced options or booksetting) in which the user selects the maximum desired burning speed for -r/+r/-rw/+rw/ and cd.
when you press burn, if this option if set, the program would use the user inputed values, if not, it uses the normal speed drop-down box selection.
i'd say the second option is more reliable and easy to implement. as far as i can see, there's no incompatibilities of any kind, as the users only activate this option if they want.
if you want to discuss possibilities for this feature with me, please feel free to contact me or reply to this post.
