Write Speed vs Write Rate

[harsen]

I'm having a problem. I need to write at 4x speed or lower, but even though I set ImgBurn to write at 4x speed, the write "rate" is always at 6x speed or higher.

 

 

 

 

The optical writer I am using is LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S PS0B (ATA)

and the Media I am using is

Disc ID: CMC MAG-M01-00

Book Type: DVD+R

 

Memorex DVD+R

 

Help!

further up in the log , what are the shown supported speeds, if the lowest is 6x then imgburn will choose that

[harsen]

I 12:36:16 Source File File System(s): None

I 12:36:17 Destination Device: [0:3:0] LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S PS0B (E:) (ATA)

I 12:36:17 Destination Media Type: DVD+R (Disc ID: CMC MAG-M01-00) (Speeds: 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x)

 

However, I've burned with the same Media on a different writer which will let me do 2x, 4x etc

Cornholio7 is right 6x will be the lowest the liteon can burn those disc's and you should set the booktype to DVD-ROM from the book icon and liteon tab to increase the chances of playback on your home dvd player

you will have to use that writer then as the liteon will not allow it.

 

Why burn so slow as modern media is best burnt at 8x to rated speed as drives are optimised to do that. However I and many users prefer to burn at 8x as you get the most benefit

will this even work?

[harsen]

I changed the mode to DVD-ROM and burned on 8x, and the disc worked flawlessly.

 

Thanks!

Modern media might burn well at 8x (some even at 16x) but

Disc ID: CMC MAG-M01-00

is worthless at any speed.
