I have a Pioneer 104 writer and I use Nero to burn my discs which it does fine. However it will only burn at 1x. The 104 writer is supposed to burn up to 2.3x and I have tried everything with Nero to get it to burn at 2x but it doesn't want to know. Any thoughts?
MikeBUK I have a 104 too & it does burn at X2 if you flash your DVD-RW with firmware. I am using 1.31 [official] Have a look here for more info : http://forum.rpc1.com/viewtopic.php?t=8398 Firmwares are all over the place but here is DVD Recordable's f/w page : http://www.dvd-recordable.net/modul...wsdownload&sid=1&min=0&orderby=titleA&show=10 : )-
You can also use nero cd speed - to check the burning speed of the media. I think you have to have already burned info on the dvd to check.. Some manufacturers of cheapo media are using the dvd id's of other brands: eg. it maybe advertised as 2x speed media BUT in fact it may only be 1x - this can result in bad burns or even damage to your rewriter. Just thought I would add that....
