sgmullins Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hi, i have a dvd writer in my pc , the make is an optiarc. the minimum speed for writing is x4 but i need it to be 2.4. Is there anyway to change the speed lower or do i need to buy an other dvd writer. If i do need to buy another writer can anyone recommend one that writes at 2x4 speed. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Why do you need to burn at 2.4x? The 4x (or even faster) write speed should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmalves Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 The slowest burn speed doesn't always result in the best burn quality, which is what the console cares about. This is especially true if you have a new-ish burner and you're using 8x rated DVD+R DL blanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok thanks, i read that you should generally use a speed of 2.4 when backing up 360 games, saying that though the one i backed up at x4 speed seems to work fine.
