grullone Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I would like to know how to write a media with speed 1x or 2x since i realized that the dvd dl I am trying to make Has been done with a very low speed on old drive. I have an ASUS DRW-22B2L and when I use a verbatim +R 8x the minimum speed allowed is 4, in the end the dvd doesn't work on my navigator system. I did install the last firmware 1.02? do I have to change again the DVD writer? Thanks log-for-nav.txt
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 What makes you think you've got an Asus DRW-22B2L? The log certainly doesn't show it. I 19:27:53 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...I 19:27:53 -> Drive 1 - Info: HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H55L 1.06 (E:) (ATA) I 19:27:53 -> Drive 2 - Info: LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-832S VS0M (F:) (ATA) I 19:27:53 -> Drive 3 - Info: PW2883Q SQD918A 2.0B (G:) (SCSI) I 19:27:53 Found 1 DVD-ROM, 1 DVD±RW and 1 DVD±RW/RAM! If that log isn't current (it does say November 2011), please post the correct one. You should also read this - http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

You should also read this - http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000 Sorry, the log file is the old one, the asus have replaced the lite-on, anyway the same problem I have with the LG, even that one can't write less than 4x, and yes I read already the suggestion for the DL, but nothing that I didn't know allready, cause I am using verbatim DVD+R DL(the "MKM-001-00" and the "MKM-003-00" and DVD-R dl I did even try with the TDK+R, but no way, following in other forum the discussions about how to make such a DVD, it seems that all the people who made it did it with very low speed such as 1x; 2x; 2,4x, maybe on old driver. Sorry again for the wrong log file, but trust me now I have even asus above mentioned and I tried anyway on the old lite-on I have disassembled (maybe the lite-on didn't have the best firmware). PLEASE I NEED SUGGESTIONS. Edited February 6, 2012 by grullone
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 There's nothing you can do about it. If 4x is the lowest speed coded into the drive's firmware then that's what you're stuck with - unless you can modify the firmware via something like MediaCodeSpeedEdit or find an old drive that still supports 2.4x on those discs. If your drive can produce a decent quality burn at 4x, there's no reason to go to 2.4x. 'Slower = Better' is just a myth. A good burn at any speed will outperform (readability wise) a bad burn at any other speed.
grullone Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 OK. Thank you for your reply, I don't know if any of my driver are good, or the computer itself (operative system) I just know that I always use a good media, but still I didn't make any readable navigator DVD. Thaks again for your quick reply
