uhhh... burning below rated speed...

[iamtrout]

I got some 24X CompUSA CD-R's but Nero only allows me to burn them at 20X with a 24X Cendyne burner.

Is there any way to get past this limitation? Too lazy to get new disks.

 

[cholley]

nope, just get better media next time and be happy your drive/software is smart enough do do this for you rather than make you more coasters

Who cares 20x is fast enuff.

 

[iamtrout]

I've heard of people burning a CD above its rated speed. What software do they use to do this?

 

[Instagib]

Yeah but why bother unless your burnin like 20 cd's an hour.

 

[iamtrout]

I know... but there's just this little voice in the back of my head always saying "ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!" whenever I can't use something to its full potential.

You should be lucky that you can even burn at that rate. I know a countless amount of people with slow systems and fast burners that can't even burn at half the drives speed because of the intense I/O stress that burning at fast rates causes.

I just bought a Liteon 24x burner...and it burns cheapo MrData 24x media at 24x just fine on P3 600. However, the same media couldn't burn properly on my mates C766 16x Burner....

 

[xWeston]

Trout, just take the media back then

You can never tell with media,it burns at what it can burn.I got some cdr's that were sold as 16X 74min media that my Lite-ON player sees at 24X 80min media & burns them fine as that.

Media is never a certain thing just be happy your cdrw can burn them at all !!!

There used to be a setting in most cd burning software that said something to the effect of "calibrate the laser".. it would find out what the media in the drive would burn reliably at and burn at that speed. Can't find it in Nero now though.
