Burning a 12x cdr at 16x. what happens?

[YayYay]

I just burned a 12x cdr at 16x and it played back fine. What are the effects of doing this? Will the data get jacked up sooner or something?

<< what happens? >>



The burner mkalfunctions, sending the spinning disk flying as the spindle melts. THe velocity of the disk tears through your case..etc. This has led to several fatalities in the past year...in other words, don't do it!!!

Seriously folks, the disks don't kill everyone, but the fact that it makes an incredible noise before it flies out makes people put their heads against it to identify the sound and..well you know the rest.


16x media is cheap anyways....

I can easily buy at 24x on my 8x cd-r media i brought a long time ago which i did not use yet. I am using a plextor 24x 10x 40x and it burns fine the 8x cd-r at 24x. In 3 mins and something secs too so i know its not burning at only 8x.

Think of it this way..the laser is burning into the plastic..the x rating on media basically is a guarentee that at that speed the disk won't break apart. A lot of media, however, is made to a degree above what is necessary, allowing you to burn at a higher speed without a degredation in quality.


CD-Rws are another matter..in them, the laser has to burn into a material that liquifies and then instantly dries...damn engineers got balls is all I know(I am an EE student😀)

oh ok. Hehe

No it isn't. Plastic stays intact. Laser thermally stimulates the recording layer applied beneath the label coating.

Pure non-sense. If discs were rated that way, you won't be able to play them back on modern CD-ROM drive. 58x CD-ROM drive spins in excess of 10,000RPM In constant angular velocity mode(same RPM through out the disc). The X raing on media, which is rather useless today, is a guideline on how fast the recording layer can handle reliable recording. x is relative to 150KB/s recording rate or 1.2m/s linear velocity. If the area being recoded on is zipping by at 24m/s, then it's recording at 20x.

Nothing dries.. Fuse, crystallize or turns into amorphous.
Laser has three different levels when recording to CD-RW. Read, write, and erase. Obviously read is the weakest power. Erase comes second, write is the strongest. The laser is biased to erase level so any previous recording is deleted(goes back to crystalline). Write-level laser pushes the pits to amorphous.

Well I see you have no idea on this stuff.

I was just trying to help the boy out😉...what's wrong with speaking in metaphors.....

You are corrrect..I just wanted to make things simple

I am a freshman..I believe one of my profs coined the phrase..."Scientific doofus"


EDIT: IF not the only thing you mis interpreted

<< << the x rating on media basically is a guarentee that at that speed the disk won't break apart. >> >>




I meant when recording....as in..well you know

ok why do it just go and buy some good media, the difference between 12 x and 16 x is not really that big if you really think about it! Plus this has been covered so many times and its just common sense!
