write speed issue

[Ficus]

hi! i made a search, but i didn't find the answer to my problem.

 

when i burn a cd/dvd, i manually select the lowest write speed compatible with the media (respectively 16x/4x), but it always burn it at maximum speed. i also tried with auto write speed, setting it at 16x/4x for different media, i selected the AWS option for write speed, but still it doesn't work. i use verbatim cd/dvd. i attach the imgburn log file.

 

in the right part, there is written for the cd:

Hi and welcome to the forum, Ficus!

 

I 17:06:00 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: MCC 03RG20) (Speeds: 4x; 6x; 8x; 12x; 16x)

The lowest for the DVD is 4x and even if you select 1x - it will go for 4x.

 

The CD seems to pick the highest speed, even if you select a lower value. There is a later firmware for that burner.
