HoRneDieSeL Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I burnt a disc this morning, DVD+R DL and when I specify the speed to 1 or 2.4x, the log file shows that it has burnt at 4x. Why would it burn at a different speed than what I set it to? The discs support up to 8x but I get better results when I burn them slower. This disc also failed at about 50% where the layer break was supposed to happen. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Your drive needs to actually support burning that media at that speed. Look at the 'Supported Write Speeds' in the disc info on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoRneDieSeL Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 So if to the right it says: (Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x) I need to burn at those speeds or else it will not burn properly? Or does it mean that 4x is the slowest speed that it will burn? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 No, it just means that the drive will semi ignore the speed you tell it to burn at if it's not one of those. i.e. 1 - 4 = 4x 6 = 6x 8 - Infinity = 8x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
