i dont know why i bought rw this time to be honest i probably thought i was getting better value for money in the long run, i am just learning at present i"m very new to burning dvds, can you pls give me more info on what you mean by setting the book type to dvd-rom, and do you think my discs wont play because they are RW? and there must be a way to burn them so that i can play them on any dvd!and thanks for your speedy advice cyprusrom.
also, somewhere in any dvd burn so far the quality goes a bit hatwire, the dvd either jumps a few minutes or it pauses for a few minutes and then jumps ahead of itself, any ideas.
here is some info about booktyping, in a post wrote by Saugmon: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/295582 By Creaky on a previous post, http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/282131 Up to date firmware is very important. I hope this answers your first question. For the second question: That colud happen for different resons. Could be the encoding process, could be the burning process, burned too fast, could be the quality of your media. Check and see what firmware you have. Updating can fix many media incompatibilities.
i have definately updated firmware to KYS3 now, i"m going to try another burn to see if the quality will be any better,as for nero drive speed i have had that down as low as 4x, but this didnt seem to make any difference, and when you open nero drive speed you can alter cd or dvd speed but i can only alter the cd speed(does this matter i thought they were the same thing)and the speed always returns back to 48x after a burn,lets give it another go, thanks for the info cyprusrom.
