Has anyone else had this issue while using Nero (Latest Ver as of 6/12/03)? I have tried a couple different brands of CD's and the speeds vary. Latest Firmware is loaded (v 160D). It was reading CD's at 52X and decided to change to 24X on the same media. I changed to FUJI 48X media and it reads at 40X.

Please help!

Thanks!

How do you mean "reads", Do you mean that once you have burnt a disk it's actually reading said disk at different speeds depending on brand?

Or do you mean that Smartburn (or equivalent) feature that estimates the maximum burning speed for media is coming up with lower speeds that expected for certain media.,

If it's the second, can you not overwrite what it automatically detects?

For instance....I have a load of Traxdata 12x CD-R's that are detected by Nero/my Lite-ON as being 24x Media but have been able to burn at 32x quite happily.
