Well I think I know what my problem was. This is happening when I'm trying to backup my DVD by reading a DVD, transcoding that DVD, and after that is done inserting a blank DVD into the same drive to backup.

The thing is that when you set it up the backup, its on one screen so when you set the "burn" part of it, Recode thinks you're trying to burn on the real DVD and it thinks it is a rewriteable - that's why the maximum is 2.4X, when in reality you're going to burning onto another disc after this one is done reading.

If you happen to transcode to the harddrive first, then burn - you'll get 4X. Or if you happen to have two DVD drives, read from one and burn to another, you should be able to get 4X.

Does that make any sense?
