Hi.
I recently got a new computer with a Pioneer DVR-109 burner.
I installed DVDDecrypter and Nero on the computer and both programs only think that the 109 is capable of writing 1x speed.
I upgraded to the 1.17 firmware to no effect.
I'm using TDK 2x media that works fine on my Pioneer A106D burner at 2x speed.
Any ideas?

Stop being cheap & get some faster discs, they're not expensive you know.
-
I don't think it's a media problem...I think it's a hardware problem.
How does the computer know how fast the drive is? -
It doesn't......
What computer do you have?
Is listed right in the bios?
Is it set to DMA mode? -
I have a Voodoo Omen.
The Pioneer looks like it's connected through the NVIDIA CK804 Parallel ATA Controller (v2.7).
That controller is using driver verion 5.10.2600.464.
The DVR-109 is on the primary channel and it's set to use a transfer mode of "Ultra DMA 4 Ultra 66" and to let the BIOS set the transfer mode. -
Not surprising. You'd think people would get at the very least 4x media if they bought a 16x writer.
Sorry, I had to go see about a girl -
Well, it does support 1x media... And I've sucessfully written to my 2x media (at 1x) even though it's not supported.
And of course new media that I buy will be a lot faster, but I still have about 85 blank 2x media... -
First get your drive off the ATA controller card. Second,make sure you have an 80 wire IDE cable connected to this drive.
-
Absolutely, put it in MB IDE channel.
Your drives passes its speed info to burning app. App checks inserted disc burning strategy and compares with burner's abilities, it offers a speed compatible with media. Check your burner properties in burning app, it will tell you all drive capabilities (also max speed). -
Even my oldest blank PVC discs are 4x.
