ImgBurn write speed

[beachbumm33]

I have 4x selected as the write speed, can anyone tell me why when I took this screen shot the it's writing at 6x? Is there something I'm missing?




I 03:10:19 Destination Media Type: DVD+R (Disc ID: YUDEN000-T02-00) (Speeds: 2.4x, 4x, 6x, 8x)

why did it change from this to this on different burns??

Maybe your drive doesn't support 4x on those discs?

[Chewy]

if you stick a blank in and open imgburn the right window will show you the allowable burn speeds, liteon's usually don't burn at less than 6x on modern media

that's a hint

recently changed spindles of sony 1x-8x MIJ's

From your attached ImgBurn log

Destination Media Type: DVD+R (Disc ID: YUDEN000-T02-00) (Speeds: 6x, 8x)

Chewy is on the ball as usual!

@ Dan
but if you scroll down in the burn log you'll see that it used to be other speeds too



@Chewy
all the burns I posted in the disk quality scan thread were on ty media at 4x

[Chewy]

and changed firmwares too, that's what gives the different allowable burn speeds?

[beachbumm33]

yes I changed firmwares to PSOB, for 10 burns, then went back to PS09..... and burned at 4x like I had been doing when I originally bought the burner

something get messed up in the flash?

[beachbumm33]

@Dan
me either, till I started scrolling down

Sorry, I only looked at the first log, didn't know there were so many in there,lol.

8X should be fine with those blanks

mysterious

fancy liteon utility running?

maybe corrupted firmware?

[beachbumm33]

just wondering what happened Chewy...i'll try and burn at 8x....was getting some great burns at 4x though

[Dan]

You can get burns just as good at 8x with that media IMO.

[beachbumm33]

@Dan
Thanks as well.....i'll give it a try....but I'd still like to know what happened, why 4x is no longer supported
