Hope that the DVD gurus could help me settle these questions which I have searched wide and deep but could not find an answer. 1/ If a DVD-R is burned at 8x speed, will a stand- alone player play it back at 8x speed or slower? 2/ Will a stand-alone player wear out faster if it plays at faster speed? 3/ On a PC, sometimes you could clearly hear the DVD player rev'ed up to a very high speed, what happened? Is there anything I could do to prevent that? Many thanks. B.
burning speed and playback speed have nothing to do with each other. DVDs are locked at a certain speed during playback.
Thank you very much, Zippyd. You've helped me settle a question that's on my mind for a very long time. Any thoughts on 3/ ? Many times, I heard the drive just rev'ing up to very high speed after I inserted a disc. For other discs, it didn't. B.
