JimmyZ Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 the speed setting didn't work at all, it only use the max speed, ignoring my settings, see attach
cornholio7 Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 post a log please , we can't see what speed you chose from that picture, we can only see that it is burning at 4x
dontasciime Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 the writer does not support 2x on the discs you have and may not allow 2x on any discs you can get.
Kenadjian Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 It's all down to drive/firmware/media combination, if the speed you select is not supported by any of them, then the speed will default to the closest thing you selected. Easy way to find out what speed you're drive/media supports is to pop a blank into the drive, select write mode and look in the right hand pane, sample below. HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B A117 (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 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: MCC-003-00 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 In this case, the supported speeds are 4X and 8X this offcourse will change with different media. Here is another that's only supported at 4X. HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B A117 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD-R Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 2,297,888 Free Space: 4,706,074,624 bytes Free Time: 510:40:38 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 4x Pre-recorded Information: Manufacturer ID: TTG02 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Book Type: DVD-R Part Version: 5 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: 2,495,103 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0
lfcrule1972 Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 As donta said, we can see you selected a 2x burn speed but ImgBurn is using 4x which, in the absence of a log leads us to the conclusion that 2x is not supported by your media.
JimmyZ Posted December 18, 2006 Author Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) sorry, the disc was labeled 1-2x, but shows like this: ================================== PLEXTOR DVDR PX-760A 1.05 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD-R Disc Information: Status: Complete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Sectors: 712,880 Size: 1,459,978,240 bytes Time: 158:27:05 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 4x Pre-recorded Information: Manufacturer ID: UME01 Recording Management Area Information: PLEXTOR DVDR PX-760A Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Book Type: DVD-R Part Version: 5 Disc Size: 80mm 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: 909,487 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0 ================================== thank you all. and another question: will imgburn show only available speeds in the drop-down box for the next version?

polopony Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Imgburn reports what the drive/firmware supports .The supported speeds that are reported and you can choose from the speeds with IB. A Google of the Id shows that this media sucks (I've never heard of it )if you want trouble free burning get Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden discs
