LG burners

[geno888]

One thing that I find very interesting in RAM media is that can be formatted in FAT32.

If I get a LG drive I'll try it

Burning speed are written on firmware. If firmware don't allow to burn above 4x, then it will be written above 4x.

With benq 1640 (the same hardware od plextor 740) it's possible to do overspeed, i.e. to burn at a speed superior to certified speed of the disc.

What media do you used?

it's probably a firmware issue!

verbatim, Im able to select different burning speeds with nero I also tryed to do a scan with nero and it dont work. [disc quality]
PS sorry i just realized im off topic, it burns thats good enough for me.

and LUK says

Only if the drive doesn't follow MMC specs.

Try at 12x and see if it burns at 8x.
