I have been noticing that lately when I burn dvds using imgburn. I'm not sure about the other programs but with image burn when I choose a write speed of 2 or 2.4 it always writes at 4.0 and even goes to 4.2 after I've chosen the slower speed. I'm thinking this may be causing the stutterings in the movies I watch. Any advice on this?
4X should be fine if your movies are playing up look into your disk quality only use good quality disks sony verbatim or taiyos
Step on up to the quality media. It'll take care of the majority of issues like that,along with that 4x burn speed. If that quality media doesn't take care of it,it could be a whole slew of other issues like: Too much Compression Fragmented hard drive Paper/sticker labels Burned too fast/or even too slow Dirty laser lens-in the drive that shows those issues Out of date firmware-this tells your drive how to burn your media. And the list goes on and on. What's the brand name/firmware version/ and model # of your dvd-rw drive? What's the brand name/format/and speed rate of your blank discs?
As far as the disk I was using maxell dvd+r and they go up to 8x and the dvd drive is an lite-on model 1673su. Its the ez-dub model. It just seems that I can't burn under 4x and I wanted to try to see If I burned slower would that stop the stuttering in the movie. I'm not really sure how to stop this but I know that I didn't use too much compression, no paper labels, lens shouldn't be dirty. I'm not that sure about the firmware though.
Go here and check and make sure the firmware on your burner is up to date. http://www.liteonit.com/ODD/English/e_downloads/e_firmware_dvd rw.asp
I ran my disk through dvd identifier and this is what it says Ritek Corp. media type: r03 product revision: 002
