mjpm Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Hi everybody, first, thx for this really nice program. Know I don't need Ne*o anymore. I have a problem with the reported max. write speeds: The packaging of my DVD+Rs says "8x (max.)". ImgBurn reports: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4167B DL13 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+R Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 2.295.104 Free Space: 4.700.372.992 bytes Free Time: 510:03:29 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 4x, 8x, 12x, 16x Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: MCC-004-00 Book Type: DVD+R Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 1 Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP) Linear Density: 0.267 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196.608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 2.491.711 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0 I wouldn't have noticed first if it wouldn't have risen to about 16x while burning. The DVDs seem to work fine btw but I wonder why there's such a difference. Maybe someone can enlighten me. Regards, Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenadjian Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 It's all about what your drive and firmware can support with that type of media, in your case, you're talking about 'rolls royce' media, it is not uncomon for this type of media to support much higher speeds. Again it's all down to media/drive/firmware. this can also happen the other way around, where the media is rated at say 16X, but the drive / firmware will only burn it at say 8X. Just as a side note, if the media is rated at 8X max, I would recomend you do not exeed this speed, even if your drive/firmware supports it at a speed higher than that.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I'm sure MCC-004 is 16x anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenadjian Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I think you might be right boss, I've had them before, but in my case with an LG4120/A117 firmware, it was only supported at 8X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonFriday13 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Haven't tried that media yet, but I have experienced some discs showing a slightly higher speed than what is on the packaging. I have the exact same drive and firmware, so its probably the disc and firmware that is telling you it can burn much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
