tuzi Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Just wondering, if a disc has a maximum write speed of 16x and you burn it at more than than 16x. What would happen when you try to play the disc? The reason I am asking is because I have blank discs that have a maximum speed of 16x. I set imgburn to burn an ISO at a max of 16x. But sometimes it goes over 16x. When I play back the video, it freezes and skips. Are these the symptoms of burning too fast? Or is my drive dying on me?

Shamus_McFartfinger Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 More likely bad media. Post a log and we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuzi Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 More likely bad media. Post a log and we'll see. Nope not bad media. Sony "48x" discs that are actually 16x. I wrote them at 16x and it is pretty much unplayable. So I tried it again at 4x and it works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinningwheel Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 So...how much help do you really want? Your system can't handle the speed you want..it's not rocket science, just junk discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
