Can't burn any higher then 4X's

For some reason, my burner won't allow me to burn dvd's any faster then 4X's, when I used to be able to burn alot higher. Most of the time I burn at 8x's to 12x's the speed. any help?

 

What program are you using to burn your dvd's? What dvds are you using?

 

I have used a bunch of different ones. Nero 8 ultra, convert x. all of them the same thing. My discs are 16X

 

Do you know what your drive is capable of? How fast can it read/write?

 

Alot faster then 4X's. I used to burn at 8x to 12x the speed. I know I can do alot faster then that.

 

Maybe you have to update some drivers then. Get Version tracker Pro and install it. It will automatically scan for drivers and update them.

 

Update the firmware of your dvd-rw drive if there is a newer version.
Nerotools will tell you your current firmware version.

Make sure your DMA's are enabled (Transfer Mode)and not in Pio Mode. You want them at DMA/UDMA or either of those along with if available:

Nero can be flaky. If above doesn't help,locate Nero Cleantool 8. Uninstall nero,run cleantool8,and load nero onto the pc again.
