yup. Same here. 5min 50sec. Posted the results here:

http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread....highlight=1620

eleewhm: Nero will show the speed you choose, regardless of the actual burning speed. I think you know that. There is a fix for this. This reg entry will force Nero to show the correct burning speed:

REGEDIT4

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

This works great. Try it.

16x 12x the difference is only 30-40 sec lets not fight over so small a time, but the last scans look very nice

Nice speed there, is it a flashed DW1600 or true DW1620? August made?

Seems like those August made DW1600 (flashed) are more likely to overspeed at 12x instead of 16x.

@eleewhm,
That's certainly a good burn.... BTW, love to see that Singlish used here... although I wonder if anyone understand what the hack you were talking about with the "si be song...."
