gamehead200 Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 As some of you may know, I just got myself a new computer...After I installed XP, I installed Nero and tested the new burner out. I decided to copy a CD...For some reason, it didn't burn at its maximum speed (52x, but the CDs are 44x compatible). I was going to reduce the speed to 44x because of the CDs I was using, but when I went to see the list of speeds, the highest one was 32x . How come 52x wasn't the maximum speed?
speedz Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 Maybe it was 52X read and 32X write?Also try disc juggler and see if u get the same results
gamehead200 Posted March 12, 2003 Author Posted March 12, 2003 Never mind...Must have been Nero, cuz I re-installed it and now the max. speed is 52x...Thanks anyways, guys...
gamehead200 Posted March 12, 2003 Author Posted March 12, 2003 Heh, I never knew myself until the company I ordered the burner from edited the specs for this computer!
zivan56 Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 Its been on sale since December in my local computer store:LiteOn 52x24x52x $85 CDNBtw, nice post count you got there gamehead200 (999)
Drewdatrip Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 Yea 52x has been around for awhile know...but unfortunity, not any media has been made for it that i know of....Aperently making a Cd that can be spun at 52x and written to, has to balanced in a particular manner or it may explode....and from what i have read most companies are not willing to spend the extra cash on the devo...so most media is stuck at 48x..=Drew
gamehead200 Posted March 12, 2003 Author Posted March 12, 2003 I bought 44x CDs, so now I'm stuck at burning stuff at 40x (cuz I can't reduce it to 44x)...(Real meaning of this post: Post #1000 Quadruple digits!)
ThA_FiLeR Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 (Real meaning of this post: Post #1000 Quadruple dig.msf21)lets not get back on the subject of post counts...
techguy21801 Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 yeah what's the point of spending the money on a 52x burner if they won't sell cd's that burn that fast...waste of money..i'm gonna wait for the dvd burner's to get real cheap and a standard is developed for them . then i'll buy one of those.
Aaron Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 Yeah a LiteOn 52x/24x/52x is a bargain at £48,Then, there's also that Sony DRU-500A, for about £260 which covers all the formats: DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW/CD-R/CD-RW
NeophyteDK Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 the thing with nero is that it determines the maximum writable speed of your media, and then it set's that as the maximum speed you can write with, so you can't damage your media by writing to fast to it... when you pop out the cd in the drive it will show 52x as max speed.. and if you then put in an old media (like 8x or some) then it will show 8x as the fastest speed.. but find some good 52x medias and then it should work...
