Worked for me here.

Yes you can

Thanks guys. I'll give it a try.

This is what the registry looks like in 6.3 oem.
Any ideas for this one?

Just add the key, same as previously mentioned in this thread several times.

Well I tried it with the change in the registry I showed above. ( two posts up)

I have the 6.3 oem version.

When I startup in startsmart, I don't have the choices for dvd and cd anymore. Apparently it lost the dvd plugins which it had.

I got this with a memorex dvd drive.

I tried to uninstall and install again but it didn't help.

Any idea on how to completely uninstall so I can get a clean install again.?

Use the Nero clean tools: http://www.nero.com/us/Clean_Tools.html

i try to find that reg hint but i don have the ShowSingleRecorderSpeed line in it.
any advice?

Yes, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Recorder create a new Dword value (Right click > New >Dword) and give it the name ShowSingleRecorderSpeed and value of 1

i cant see th efollowing line in my registry: "ShowSingleRecorderSpeed"
any clue??

You have to add it if it's not there but doing what eranros posted above.

Just read the instructions I posted above your message...

start new notepad document, paste the following text into it:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Recorder]
"ShowSingleRecorderSpeed"=dword:00000001

save it as showspeed.reg, make sure to change it from .txt in the drop down box below the save line

If you want it already done for you,I've included it below.Just change the .txt extention to .reg....double click it and hit yes-then ok and you should be cool.

i try to change writebuffersize value and showdrivebuffersize value to 1 and nero didnt want it to burn after i did that. is there anything else i could do in registry to emprove my burning performance or some cool hint?? thnx

I said this a year ago,

There must be a Moderator who is kind and will put an end to this misery.

Speed Kills! Latest report has it that a CD spun out of control, was faster than a speeding bullet, and ran over a "PC User" while he was attempting to close the CD-RW tray.

As of 28 Feb, the only file you can download from anywhere, it seems, is the shareware version (v7, xqdcxsp-setup-en.zip, 3,422,883 bytes). Granted, it's only $8, and well worth it, but it ain't free anymore.

Strange that I couldn't find any links to download previous versions, which are free, in spite of prior assurances from the X-Setup creators that the 6.x versions would remain available after 7.0 was released!

Found X-Setup Pro v6.3 here

v6.6 here

Haven't tried them but the download worked okay.

Just installed and ran v6.6

Works as advertised.

I have Nero 6, but in my registry I can't find the next entry"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Recorder" in my registry it comes without "Recorder" entry, it comes like the following line:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\"
How Can I make it show the actual write speed??

Any updates on this potential problem to report. I've seen this mentioned before somewhere, that this registry hack can corrupt the burn process. I'd do these tests myself If I didn't have moths in my wallet.
Any information people have I'd appreciate, especially the experienced or mods/admins.

Thanks in advance!

Not only mods/admins are experienced and not all mods/admins are experienced in all fields

Anyways, i have been using this since day one on most Nero versions that have been published since - never experienced any problems that had anything to do with it.

Thanks, I really appreciate the input, especially since you've been using it since day one. Have you picked up pcbugfixer's gauntlet & tried the tests put forth by him/her to "prove him/her wrong"? Prehaps, it could be an isolated bug on a few users systems, or completely unrelated, but until I can get a wider perspective on the issue, I'll probably refrain from using the hack.

LOL, I thought people might misconstrue that phrase at the time, it was poorly articulated, though I did put "the experienced OR mods/admins", I wasn't implying that mods/admins are the only people qualified as "experienced".

Interesting him/her business Mate! then again I did get a haircut only last week so you can't say I'm a Sheila.

As to the Burning and reporting Speed. Think of any task a Computer is asked to perform or relate this to any task you or anyone else is asked to perform - I don't care.

Case scenario 1 - physical job relationship as means of logic understanding.
You drive a car with automatic gear shift from Sydney to Melbourne (1000 km) with lots of Hills = should be no problem as the Auto Drive will do all the work and you just make sure you don't Speed.

Case Scenario 2 - The automatic breaks down and you now have to manually use the T bar to change gears - This will add at least 8000 extra tasks to your driving job and it will obviously take you longer to get there.

So, CD burning on Automatic or Manual - is the next question.

Case Scenario 1 - Automatic (not using reg tweak for speed reporting)
Watch the task performance in the burning window, and time it.

Case Scenario 2 - Use the reg tweak to report the burning speed - does this manually, monitors (has to collect the information) and reports burning speed of all burning functions (tracks) as it goes along with frequent changes, which it must also collect and report (display) - Now watch the burning window and the extra task performance reporting, and now time this.

NB: "Mate" is Australian slang for "buddy", "friend." and "Sheila" is "a woman"
