Write speed issues

[iopknuckles]

I am trying to burn BD-R 25's which have a max write speed of 4x. When I set my max speed to 4x and start the burn I get these logs:

 

W 22:21:46 Write Speed Miscompare! - Wanted: 5,540 KB/s (4x), Got: 17,980 KB/s (13x)

W 22:21:46 The drive only supports writing these discs at 4x, 6x, 8x, 10x.

 

How is this even possible? I am really confused because it states that my drive is capable of writing 4x. 13x isn't even one of the speeds it states is compatible. Am I doing something wrong? I even clicked the change automatic write speed button and set the max for the discs and drive to 4x. Will setting this and then selecting AWS fix the problem?

Thank you for your help.

 

Edited: I am running Windows 7 64 my drive is a Lite-on IHBS112-04 (drives up to date)

It looks like the program thinks it's meant to be writing in DVD mode. Maybe you've messed with the settings and taken it off 'auto' and put it on 'DVD' ? Try reinstalling and make sure you select the 'reset settings' option within the installer.

I will give it a shot thank you. So the only way to switch the type of disc im burning is to reinstall the entire program?

No, but if you've changed that one setting without knowing what it does, you may have messed with others too. The defaults work best (hence why they're the defaults) so the best thing to do is reset everything back to default.

 

It would have helped if you'd posted the full log rather than just 2 lines of it.

Okay When going to copy the log to post here I saw it saying it was in DVD mode so you were correct. Looked through the settings and under write changed DVD to BD. Will retry and see what happens. Thank you for the help!

No, put it back on 'Auto'. You shouldn't have ever changed it in the first place.
