CDR Burning

[iggybaseball]

My dad has a 24x burner (tdk) which i wont so badly compared to my 4x burner. but would i be able to efficently burn at 24x or would i just get a bunch of errors? so did any1 ever burn at this speed before? Thanx

My Sanyo 24x hasn't made a coaster yet burning at 24x even with cheep media. You should be fine at 24x. You can even get a 40x Plextor burner now.

Its burn proof right? Like Bender said usually any CD-RW should work fine on any computer thats where the burn proof kicks in..

Yeah the TDK has burnproof. Almost any drive made today has burnproof. I just wish they would us larger buffers. 2mb works with burnproof but you wouldn't have to have it kick in as much if you had 8mb or more. Does it really cost much more to add a little more buffer. I really doubt it would even cost $1 more for 8mb.

us computer techies are the only ones who know what the heck a buffer is. like jane-doe-everyday-customer is gonna care if she has 2mb or 8mb ;) . i agree though, there needs to at least be an option for more of a buffer.

Computer technologie is moving to fast for manufacturers to worry about making a quality product. Its to cheep to just make something that works and move on to a newer model once thats out of date.

Can you not just implement the extra buffer in RAM? Mind you, it still has to get to the burner, but RAM is fast stuff compared to Hard Disks.

I used a cd that said max burn was 16x. but when i burned a cd it said it burned at 24x. so which speed did it burn at?

[Bender]

You burned it at 24x. The media has a 16x rating but that has nothing to do with the speed you selected to burn it at.
