Hi @all guys.
I would put a question... the write speed (52x... 2x.... 4x.... 1x....) will influence the read speed or quality of CD ? Is real I should write lower the PSX games ?
Is possible know the write speed used for write a CD ?
PS: I use ImgBurn. Thanks
(anon I know you know that...)
1) Instab (and some internet sites) says that the lowest burn speed will result into a better quality.Originally Posted by IlSoldato
2) For my PSX I always burn at the Max possible speed and my PSX's laser is still working fine for me. (Console age is now 11 years old), there is one condition thought, you need to have a quality burner (like Sony, Samsung...).
Solution!: burn at moderate speeds lol
?Is possible know the write speed used for write a CD ?
If you mean to know what speed ImgBurn will burn it, then it will be written some where in the log,
"Max speed effectively set ...etc" or something like that.
If you mean the Max speed the CD can be burnt with, then it is written on the disc.
Hehe, sure he does.(anon I know you know that...)
I am cheatos
You can get a better result so burn it with 4x.

Unfortunatly on my portable PC the speed is between 10x and 24x, I can't select lower/higher values. And my "normal PC" I have LG burner. I think with this I can select lower speeds or fastest (Now I can't try, because I'm waiting new motherboard).
Lower speed better quality ? Ok... but I'm interested also to know why this happen... and the read speed is influenced ?
I was meaning... when I've a burned CD, can I know the speed used for burn it ? And this this speed influence the read quality ? You said yes because said low is better but the read speed is the same ?
The problem is I must burn PSX games and I'm looking for best solution because I've used more than 25 CDs (I pack) and games work only sometimes... I use Verbatim certified 52x.
@IlSoldato:
then avoid using it for burning cd's (otherwise use 24x)Unfortunatly on my portable PC the speed is between 10x and 24x, I can't select lower/higher values
it should be possible, i'd recommend around 24x (not too slow, not too fast), basically as cheatos said, some speed in between (but closer to the max. value)And my "normal PC" I have LG burner. I think with this I can select lower speeds or fastest
fi. for dvd's i use 8x, even though the dvd's are 16x rated and the burner can do 16x max. too - why 8x? because it doesn't put too much strain on the drive and avoids having problems with media that may be less-than-perfect for the job (not quite 16x as it says on the label), also it won't take much more time to burn
the read speed should not be influenced by the previously used burn speedLower speed better quality ? Ok... but I'm interested also to know why this happen... and the read speed is influenced ?
lower is better up to a point, too low doesn't make sense and any possible gain in quality (which is likely too small anyways) will be countered by significant loss of time needed to do it
verbatim makes good dvd's, not sure about their cd qualityI've used more than 25 CDs (I pack) and games work only sometimes... I use Verbatim certified 52x.
sometimes older 'burners' have problems with newer cd/dvd media - this might happen to older 'readers' as well

I know using lower speeds will reduce the chances of something going wrong, but as far as I know there's no difference between a CD burnt at 2x and one at 52x if both pass the verification.
I'm reckless and burn my discs at maximum speed. So far so good
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
for me is a matter of what type of cd/dvd media you have and what type of drive
i heard that LG can burn in any media but the quality of the burn is low
so i guess using a better drive with a proper cd/dvd media will give a better quality no matter the speed
the fact is that so many media have been done poorly lately
well at least for dvd i always check if the media is good here
i have a pioner drive and i burn at high speeds as anon and never had problem
only DL media i burn at low speeds
What's your problem ? Burn it slow and you should have no problems.
My game often don't work ok, like don't start or block during the game, and I'm sure is a problem of burning.
Which dvds are you using ?
Verbatim certified 52x, but max burn speed of my portable PC (the only I can use now) is 24x.
DVD-R or DVD+R ?
