Burn strategies for older CD-ROM drives [16X, 24X, 32X, 48X]?

[l00rk3r]

I have been playing around with v2.4.2.0 of ImgBurn, and have found that the computers with the more modern DVD/CD-ROM drives can read the files fairly easily [with just a little hesitation], but that the older CD-ROM drives [16X, 24X, 32X, 48X] are having all sorts of problems trying to read the files.

 

Now when I go to burn something in ImgBurn, I notice under options that I have the choice of

 

File System: ISO9660, ISO9660 + Joliet, ISO9660 + Joliet + UDF, ISO9660 UDF, and UDF

And if one of the UDF file systems is chosen, then I have the choice of

 

UDF Revision: 1.02, 1.50, 2.00, 2.01, 2.50, and 2.60.

I'm guessing that for the older CD-ROM drives, either ISO9660 or ISO9660 + Joliet is probably the best bet, but can anyone verify that for me?

 

Thanks!

 

PS: The older computers are running Windows 2000.

 

PPS: If there are any other parameters that I need to worry about other than the 9660/Joliet stuff, then do tell.

 

Thanks again!

None of that is anything to do with it. (except UDF 1.02 should be the revision you use as that's the main one for OS's before Vista - although they probably support up to v2.00 really)

 

It's not your drive that reads the file system, it's windows.

 

The drive just sees it as 'data'.

 

If the old drives are having trouble reading the discs then it's because the drives are old (lol) and probably don't like the media you're using or are sensitive to burn quality (burn slower next time).
