I was reading a post by OC-Freak about the burn speed shift of some drives and what happens at the point of the speed shift Quote: Originally posted by OC-Freak

This is normal and should never cause any problems since the gap is shorter than gaps caused by dust(that's so small that it's nearly invisible) on the disc. Those very tiny gaps is easily corrected by the drives error correction functions and you will never notice them.
| So how's this for a theory;
So maybe the speed shift does induce an error on the disk, which is picked up by the SD2.51 check and causes the problems some people have spoken about with SD2.51 killer burners not correctly backing the disk up. I know that pretty much every backup I do at Max speed fails the copy protection check one time in about 5, but burnt at a constant speed [I chose 16x as a test] the backup works each time every time. That has been proved with Max Payne and C&C Renegade so far.
