Writing speed with Premium - Club CDFreaks

miha · 30-09-2003

Hey.

I've downloaded the trial version of alcohol, and I tried to burn something with it. at the speed selection bar I get only 4x,8x,16x,24x,Maximum. I do not get 52x,40x,32x.

Is this normal?

That's because the inserted media doesn't support higher burning speeds.

I don't think so. I tested four different brands of media and all gave same result (Maxell, CMC, POSTECH, RITEK). When I select Maximum it does indeed write at 52x. Additionally, all the media is branded 40x-52x. PoweRec reports recommeded speed of 52x.

Thanks

Please update your firmware to the latest one and check again.

Thank you for the answer.

I regret to say that the 1.04 firmware didn't help with this problem

BTW, Nero allows to select speeds without a problem.

I have also downloaded the latest devsupp from your web site.

This maybe a speed detection error with your drive. The best thing to do is to use Alcohol's internal report function. Go to CD/DVD Manager -> System info -> Report to Support Team

With the supplied information they can check the problem and find a solution.

I will do it ASAP. So it's not a hardware problem with my drive, right?

I don't think so.
