Why Max Speed?

[NightTran]

when I use dvdinfopro the quality is always very high 99+, with nero speed is about 90 +. and imgburn burn is always good with infopro but not nero speed

I am getting nearly identical scans with the 2 softwares.

[drfsupercenter]

I used to use 8x and you all told me not to. Now I will again.

[Chewy]

Be sure and verify a few before you abandon 4x, especially those cmc mag
memorexs.

Ditto, but only for CMC MAG.

As I said previously, genuine Taiyo yuden discs allow very good results also in overspeed (8x media burned @12x).

I'm rather disappointed with latest taiyo 16x certified discs: they give not so good quality as 8x media, but probably this is only a firmware issue: these media are rather recent, and firmware producers require some time to fine tuning their products.

No 2 burners agreed on any best speed except the nec 3520 and 3540,
but they all gave good results at 8x.

Hi Chewy, so the 3540 liked 8x?

Did you test 6x by the way?

[jmet]

I have the 3540 and when burning to my TY media, 6X isn't even a option to select. I have been burning at 8X quite regularly with great satisfaction.

[TNT]

Yeah, I have some older media that I can burn at 2,4,6,8x. I haven't bothered compare different speeds however.

[geno888]

Also firmwares writing strategies improved with time, and not only quality of media. So this can explain better results @8x in recent times
