Minimum write speed Pioneer DVR-118L

[DanielMPR]

Hello, I need to know WHY the heck my drive will not write at 2X! I have a Pioneer DVR-118L and updated the firmware to 1.03 thinking it would fix this, NOT, I have used Sony DVDs and they record at minumum 6X, and have crappy RiData dvds, minimum 6X, even if I set write speed to 2X, what brands will do 2X??? where is a list of them? I used to be able to write at lower speeds on my old Lite-ON drive, but it is damaged... is it the media?

It's hard coded into the firmware.

 

If the drive produces excellent quality burns on those discs at 6x, you don't need 2x.

 

Burn at the speed which actually produces the best quality burns, not the lowest speed because you *think* that'll produce the best quality burns.
