cd writing speed

[themoose]

hi all

i have a 48x cd writer which burns at 40x with traxdata cds which are labelled as 40x

yet it only burns at 24x with datawrite (datasafe) cds which are labelled as 40x

anyone know of a reason or way round this

cheers

some writers look at the media u are using and determine the fastest speed all by them self, so if it says its gonna write em at 24x even though they are not then tough m8 theres not a lot u can do about it , u are not alone my yamaha 44x will only do 16 x on some 32x datasafes i have.

Disable SmartBURN, that will stop the writer from analysing the media and setting a speed limit (you may end up with coasters though if the media cannot keep up).
