dvd writing speed

shawzy67 · 09-10-2005,03:58 AM

Can anybody help me i have just bought a new multi format dvd rewriter to burn ps2 backups, however i cant get the burn speed to go below 4x so i'm just ending up with loads of coasters. does anybody know how to change the speed to 1 or 2x, the media i'm using is 1-8x

some burners wont go below 4x, mine wont LG dvdram burner, I have burnt over 300 games on Verbatim and Ritek and have not had 1 coaster at 4x so I dont think speed is your problem

might be you are not using the right settings when copying if you are using software like nero and the like try using dvddecryper very simple to use if you have'nt tryed it

Could be because of your software or the firmware of your DVD burner.

dvd decrypter is probably ur best bet

Definitely stick with DVDDecrypter. It's freeware and is a great app for backing up PS2 discs.

What's the media brand? Stick with Ritek/Ridata and you should be fine. As someone suggested, also check out if there is a newer version of the firmware on your drive.

As others suggested, use DVDDecrypter and use quality DVD media. Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden and Ritek G04 are the most reliable. Also if your PS2 is an earlier version, try to stick with DVD-R media (as opposed to DVD+R).

Given the way that Ritek's quality and consistancy has been going lately, I won't touch them with a 10 foot pole. Definitely look into a firmware update from rpc1.org though. Quality media makes a HUGE difference. You should be able to burn quality media (ie Taiyo Yuden, Mitsubishi Chemicals/Verbatim) at max speed with no problems.
