Ok, just got a 100pk of 48x compatible cds, i have a 48x writable burner, and when i try to write an image, it says i can only do 40x, with nero, anyone know if this is suppose to happen? or is there some other program i can use or what?


err, and cdrwin is reading it fine...:plain2:

Josep thats meant to happen. There is a 'feature' with most new burners called smart burn. It detects the quality of the cd and tells the program to set the maximum burn speed to whatever it deems safe. Programs like Nero support the Smartburn feature, CloneCD and CDR-WIN dont. To turn it off in Nero, goto the Choose Recorder dialog and click the options button at the bottom, then untick "Smart-Burn Enabled" and youll be able to choose whatever speed you want.

Be warned though, burns may fail or become unreadable if you set it to high, but if the discs are rated at 48x then it should be ok.

cd burnin' y'all...

i just wanted to state for the record:

it is very rare that i am impressed by either hardware or software, but i bought an optorite 40x drive, and i have been blown away.

this is the 5th cdrw drive i have owned, and it's speed, reliability, and bundled software (an optomized version of nero), have been on average 50x better than any other drive i have ever owned.

the one draw back is the price:

at $40 from a pricewatch vendor, i was sure i was buying crap.....

this drive is an unbelievable value, for anyone interested in knowing a bit about cdrw shopping.

now if only i could figure out which dvd drive to get... :(

the pioneer dvr-104 is supposed to be excellent, takes about an hour to burn a full dvd, but it still does the job!:)

you said you were waiting for sub 200 dvd players...

i said the wait is over:

www.pricewatch.com

(then storage, then dvd, then DVD ram)

then there is a list of companies selling dvd burners for <$200.

but yeah, i'm waiting for a GOOD dvd burner to apporoach the $100 mark, then i'm in. :D

btw... i just got a jensen mp3/cd player for my volvo. it rules. now i have to upgrade all my speakers!! :cry:

well, it's sweet to have 14 albums on shuffle anyway, with one disk, and have about 20 more of those 14 album disks in a little storage container... :D

w00t!

If you want an excelente writer (and one that even paints on the CD), look for the Yamaha CDRW-F1.

In Pricewatch, is the one that says 44x,24x,44x, and cost ~$100.

Go to Tomshardware.com and see it in action!.

yeah, that is damn expensive. they shouldn't cost anymore than blank cds. don't worry though, i'm sure the exact same pricewar will happen with dvdr media that happened with cdr media, and the winners will be the companies who aren't gouging (anymore) and the consumers, just like last time.
