[While burning WCraft III (securom *new) I noticed that A120% wont let me burn slower than 8x (offers 8x, 12x, 16x or maximim).
Tried changing options (data type settings/recording options) to no effect.
Also noticed that if I burn at "maximum" speed, the status window tells me i'm burning at 16x when my Lite-On is capable of 24x. The write speed information tab also puts the maximum of this device at only 16x.
The questions are:
1) how can i get A120% to allow me to burn slow (say 4x or 2x)?
2) why doesn't A120% allow me to write at 24x? (it recognises my Lite-On model perfectly).
3) A large number of posts recommend reading/writing as slowly as possible. Why? (having the capability of burning in 4 minutes and not using it seems a pity).
And more importantly: When should you read slowly? & when should you write slowly? Does it depend on the copy protection in question? the burner? the cd-r quality?

1) Alcohol only allows writing speeds supported by your burner. The reason why you can't burn at 2x or 4x, it's because your burner's firmware was not programmed to allow those speeds.
2) It allows your burner to burn at 24x because that speeds is allowed by your burner's firmware.
3) You shouldn't burn to slow nor too fast. Too fast will likely create errors, too slow will take longer and more heating.
Some protections requires to be burned at low speeds (8x) and you shouldn't burn at high speeds (40x, 48x and 52x) with poor quality media.
