agents Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 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 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 what are the supported write speeds shown in the right hand of the gui? are these MKM-003? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agents Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) 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????

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 No, take a look at the 'Supported Write Speed' in the disc info on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agents Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 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???

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Your drive (with its current firmware) simply doesn't support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agents Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited December 11, 2008 by agents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Burn one, scan it and see the quality for yourself (if your drive supports it of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blutach Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 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. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesallright Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Never experienced a problem with 4x-8x MKM-003 Verbatims, always burned them at 4x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom942 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 @Blutach And if you only can choose between Verbatim 2,4x from India or Verbatim 8x from Singapur, then which one would you get?. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards. Singapore everytime ( MIS =made in singapore), made in India are by far inferior to MIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
