I have the Samsung TS-552B, firmware TS04 (have tried TS06 aswell).
I bought these PRINCO DVD-R 1-4X DVDS (white discs), and my samsung only accepts writing at 2X. Using DVD-identifier it says up to 4X, but INFO line from my burner says only 2X speed. I opend MSCE and loaded the TS04 bios binary, looked up PRINCO and it says 2X, 4X. I added 6X, pressed SET speed, saved bios and flashed my burner. Still only 2X burning speed. I renamed PRINCO to PRANCO and used DVD-identifier and copied the information to the clipboard, used paste in MSCE, added 6X and saved the bios, flashed the burner, but still only 2X!.... what do I do wrong? How can I get my Samsung to accept that I indeed have 4X DVD-R discs... Burning at 2X is not that great

.

Thanks in advance, Peter
