Autowrite Speed not locking on set speed:

[dr_ml422]

Hi guys. I've set the auto write speed to 12x on my TY's. It keeps them on 24x which is impossible as TY's don't do 24x. The DVD-R's that is. Here's a log to see if you see something I can't. Checked forum but no answer to this that I saw. Thnx.

are you choosing AWS when you burn?

Son of a Gun. I could of sworn I went through that drop down list. Thnx cornholio. I guess Imgburn also saved me from creating a coaster w/its option for that?

You could set it to 50 million, the drive will still only burn at 12x.

 

You can't make a drive do something it knows it can't support, it'll just think you (well, ImgBurn) are stupid and go with the closest speed it *does* support..

[eSkRo]

can you set the AWS to 12x

 

so that any brand/type of media inserted in your drive

 

will be burned at that speed?

 

or you have to edit each media type 1 by 1...?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

if you add the drive name rather than the media id, yes.

 

Likewise, you can add 'DVD-R' and it'll burn all DVD-R (that aren't otherwise specified) at whatever speed you select.

I didn't know about adding the DVD+-R Option. In same window as where you add the drive name? It's good to have that when burning w/same quality media/burner, but if different then individual settings better. ie: Sata Sammys are slow at lead in and usually end up at or close to your write speed. So I set sometimes to 16x to get 12x. Pioneer though goes straight to rate and stays there. I like that about the Pionerr derives.

[eSkRo]

in my opinion, Pioneers are top noch!!!

uhm, where should i put the drive name exactly?

I have to admit I do like that about them also. They do run into some firmware issues now and then, but I'll say they're pretty solid. The Sammy's are good too.

 

Oh btw. In AWS just click on the drive it'll be listed and hit update. Do the same for the write rate. There you could also do what Lightning suggested. It's pretty much autopilot ImgBurn is. Not that much one needs to play with to use it best.

Hi Cynthia. I think they're all updated. I'm planning a trip to Europe. One of my yets.
