Is it true that you can only read a CD as fast as it's been written?

[Madcowz]

So if I burn a CD at 16X for example, I would only be able to read it at 16X max?

 

[thedarkwolf]

nope. It reads it just like any other cd.

 

[Whitewolf]

Never heard of this. The answer is...no

 

[Looney]

Definitely no

 

[nnnyyy]

Nope.

 

[jcovercash]

I have never though about that, good point, if it were true then everyone htat gets a cd from me is gonna read it really slow

 

[Phodimo]

No way.

I do know that it can be true for the other way around.
I used to have an older computer standing around with a 2 speed CD-rom , when I made CD's at 4 speed or higher they could not be read by the 2 speed CD-rom when written at 2 speed or lower they could be read.

 

[aneurysm]

I've never had a problem like that - I burn at 16x, and it can be read on slower CD drives just fine.

 

[whitelight]

the cd is read at whatever speed your cdrom is.

 

[Jorrit]

the only thing is that multi-session cd's load a little slower than single-session...

no but why the query??

 

[Hellblast]

LOL

 

[Ponyboy25]

No kidding Hellblast, this one's a good laugh. That's like saying you could only read a book at the speed that it was written at! Ha ha...

false

 

[thorin]

Write speed has nothing to do with read speed.

[LukFilm]

Er... NO!!!

 

[Phatty106]

Where do people come up with this crap?

 

[johneetrash]

YES THAT IS SO TRUE














err just kidding

 

[fkloster]

<< Is it true that you can only read a CD as fast as it's been written? >>



nope.

 

[sharkeeper]

If that were true...

I could save ink by writing with my pen slower.
I could read the newspaper really fast because printing presses are fast.



Cheers!
