Write Speed

[Pay919]

I've got a little problem. I set my write speed to 1.0x and then it ends up burning at 4.0x

Your burner probably doesn't support 1x burning of the cd/dvd you are using, so imgburn burns with the nearest supported speed.

Post a burn log.

Not so much 'ImgBurn burns with the nearest supported speed' as the drive does.

 

ImgBurn will always tell the drive to burn at the speed you've selected. It's down to the drive to honor that (or not).

Why so slow to begin with?

Oh ok thanks. Anyways I'm burning Super Smash Brothers for the wii so i want it to be the best quality so there are no disc read errors

Burning too slow can be just as bad as burning to fast.

[Pay919]

I guess so, but from what I've heard from everyone, the lower the speed you burn wii backups, the better the wii is at reading it

You'd need to perform some tests before you could come to any sort of conclusion here.

 

That would basically involve burning a few discs (of the make/MID in question) at each speed and then scan them all to see which is really the best one.

 

You'd probably want to scan them in a mixture of drives too (i.e. Plextor, BenQ and LiteOn) and then take the average.

Thats too much work for me, lol. I'll just stick with 4x speed =]

Only reason i wanted to do 1x was because brawl is a special game, haha =].

lol don't worry, I was thinking out loud rather than saying 'this is what you should do'
