Old made in Japan 4x CD-Rs OK at 24x ?
Is it normal for 5-year-old Taiyo Yuden and Ricoh CD-R disk rated for
4x to burn reliabily at 24x ? Nero must have misread or ignored their maximum speed ratings and burned them at 24x (drive is Acer/BenQ 48x16x48), but they verify fine and are readable even in an ancient CD-ROM drive that has trouble with some CD-Rs and all CD-RWs. This was even after I left them in a hot car one day (170F). I don't think that Nero simply misreported the speed because each disk took only about 3 mins. to burn. |

Actually there is no speed rating for CD-R on the disk itself. It is up to the user to tell the software to go slower. If the drive knows the disk ist may also decide to go slower. Entierly different story for CD-RW. This was even after I left them in a hot car one day (170F). I don't think that Nero simply misreported the speed because each disk took only about 3 mins. to burn. Give them a month or two, then try again. Still, this may be a lucky match between burner, burner firmware and medium. Arno |

It could be at the time the disks were made they were reliable at 24X.
But were marked and sold as 4X. Or maybe they have had time to improve CD-Burners that they can burn older disks faster. "larry moe 'n curly" wrote in message ups.com...

Or they turned out to be only reliable at 4X on all burners even tho some could burn them at 24X. Or maybe they have had time to improve CD-Burners that they can burn older disks faster.
