I had this problem and tried everything I could think of and ended up nearly pulling my hair out. It turned out that my DVD burners didn't like that particular brand of blank DVD ('Memorex') and so defaulted to a slower "safe" burn speed. Try a different brand of blank Johnno, even once, just to eliminate that as a cause. R.

It means that your burner is telling the software that the maximum speed it is willing to use WITH THAT BLANK is less than rated speed. This can be because the firmware authors chose to be conservative due to quality concerns with that blank. More commonly it means that the firmware is outdated and it doesn't "know" about that particular blank (i.e. there is no "match" for the blank disc's MID in the drive's media speed table). The result is that the drive uses a generic burning strategy which is usually much slower than the drive's rated maximum speed. Often this will produce burns of questionable quality, as the generic burning strategy cannot be optimized for media it doesn not know about (with the exception of certain Plextor, Benq, and Lite-On drives which have a "learning" mode for auto-adjusting to unknown media). Bottom line: see if updated firmware is available for your burner.

Well, it's not my computer and about to go back to its owner. I had put a burner from my other computer temporarily into that computer, burned the discs and then put the burner back into my computer (a Sony VAIO). On my main computer though, I use a 16x Memorex DVD burner, TDK DVD-Rs and Nero 5.5. Never fails.... well, only very rarely fails.... to burn nicely at full speed. I did check the intended speed of the blanks right after I bought the spindle though, and Nero CDSpeed said they are 16x. I will be trying the free full version 9 of Ashampoo though. I really like that program's interface. -- John Corliss BS206.

I have yet to try burning a disc in the computer in which the burner resides normally. There's some program from Sony installed for burning on that computer. I'd temporarily installed the burner in my friend's computer so I could back up some files. I checked the five discs I burned (all at 4x) and the copies are good. Even at 4x, it didn't take that long to do the job. -- John Corliss BS206.
