Problem with new DVD-R discs, only burn at 2x

[DunxUK]

This is a new stack of Asda DVD-R 16x discs which I usually have no problems with, however IMGBURN only offers 2x as the available burning speed. My standalone DVD recorder remains happy to burn these at full speed.

 

Any ideas? Many thanks everyone!

It's not ImgBurn that is only offering the 2x write speed. It's your burner (firmware) that only supports them at 2x. A more "modern" burner should be able to write them at faster speed.

 

A later firmware version might help.

Hi Cynthia. It makes sense that it is the drive, unfortunately the firmware you kindly provided the link to is not compatible with the drive which makes no sense. I think I am stuck with this!

 

 

Many thanks

Try with some "better" media and it should give you the max 8x your burner is capable of. (Verbatims are nice )

 

The media code UME02 is not very well supported by some burners.

Wow.. this is a terrific site! Great stuff, and apparently no advertising;

at least not yet. I bookmarked it immediately. I hope it continues to

flourish over the years.
