new Verbatims DVD+R DL minimum write speed 4x?!?!?

[agents]

hi to all...i recently bought some new verbatim DVD +R DL 8x..

 

i ve burned many xbox360 games on Verbatim +R DL 2,4x and set the write speed to imgburn at 2,4 and everything was ok.

 

When i burn the new Verbatims i set the speed to 2,4x and Imgburn writes it to 4x!!!

Write rate is 4x and now it takes 22mins to finish the operation (on 2,4 it took 40 mins)

 

Why is that???I want the games to be burned on 2,4 to be sure they play right..

can anyone help me????

[cornholio7]

what are the supported write speeds shown in the right hand of the gui?

are these MKM-003?

[agents]

in the gui i can select all speeds from 1 to 56!!

yes they are MKM-003-00!!Arent they good??

is it safe that they get only burned at 4x????

No, take a look at the 'Supported Write Speed' in the disc info on the right.

[agents]

it says supported write speeds 4x,6x,8x.but i'm sure a friend of mine has the same

discs and burns them at 2,4 speed!It takes him 40mins to burn whereas i burn them in 22mins..

why can't i burn these MKM-003-00 at 2,4x???

Your drive (with its current firmware) simply doesn't support it.

[agents]

is this bad or good??

 

I have the latest firmware

i mean i think 2,4x it's a much safer speed then 4x.

should i trust these discs?

Thanx so much all of you for your help advices

Burn one, scan it and see the quality for yourself (if your drive supports it of course).

Try to get Verbatim, +R, 2.4x, MKM-001-00, Made in Singapore in future.

 

In the meantime, you have burned a disc already - as the boss says, scan it (use DVD Info Pro or Ner0 CDSpeed). Don't be frightened if the PIEs increase on layer 1. Probably the best scan speed for a DL is 4x.

What optical drive do you have & how old is it?

[Yesallright]

Never experienced a problem with 4x-8x MKM-003 Verbatims, always burned them at 4x.

And if you only can choose between Verbatim 2,4x from India or Verbatim 8x from Singapur, then which one would you get?.
