burning speeds and firmware upgrades

[gavmiester]

My problem is :

Im not able to burn dvd-rs at x4

I have a Sony burner 500A, and have upgraded the firmware to version f which supports x4 media.

Have been burning in Nero version 20 and 28 with Princo x4 media. Nero recognises that its x4, and says thats what it is burning at......however, my burns are still taking 30mins.

ANy ideas peoples.........will try and burn somthing in movie factory2, but I suspect I will get the same result. Any positive feedback will be appreciated.
Cheers

Have a look at this thread:

Your situation is not unique and unfortunately, at present there is no solution with firmware.

You can try eating custard whilst standing on your head.
It is unlikely to change it, but the time may seem to go by faster.
