Burning CD's

[war59312]

I always burn at 8x no matter the media. However I don't use cheap ass cds.

I usually follow this rule:

VCD/SVCD @ 8x
MP3/Audio cd @ 12x
Data @ 32x

The only problems i did have is with cheap media, for a couple of pence more you can some decent media (nugen, datasafe etc)

Avoid the media that has no lable (just has 2 gold sides or 2 silversides) its good for about 3 plays before its shot

i just use whatever cd-r's i can get free after mail-in rebates. haven't had any problems with any of them yet.

I have a plexwriter 12/10/32a and I have always burned wide open with every burner I have ever had and I have always used nero with no problem

normally burning at 12x and 16x speed is a no problem...
just wondering, how come u are guys are burning a 1x and 2x???
wouldn't that take ages????

I burn everything at 40x. For me it all depends on the power and stability of your rig and associated software coupled with good discs. I will be upgrading to 50x as soon as the discs I like to use become available.

I just cant give up on my need for speed.

Well I have an 8x so I burn at 8x. If I had a 50x I would burn most stuff at 50x, but some stuff at 40x and once inawhile at around 10x or 12x. They say if you burn at a lower speed than what your burner can handle every once inawhile your burner will last longer. Just a few months at best, but thats cool with me. Or even better burn at half speed and just a few times at top speeds when your rushed then it might live a lot longer.

i have 40x speed lite-on which i have overclocked to 48x.

i always burn at 48x. if it's important data then I use the nero scandisk to check the cd to make sure it all ok and it always is

700mb in 2mins 30secs and high quality burn.....suits me fine
