All 1x media that burns at 2x speed in Sony DRU-500A 1.0f

[donpedro]

I saw a lot of posts about 1x media that can be burned at 2x speed. Since my Accu media showed in Nero that it can be burned at 2x speed but real speed was 1x (56min), I thought that this post can be usefull.

Please post here these info about your 1x media to confirm that your media was burned at 2x speed.

Media name, Source, Purchase Date, Amount of data, Burning time

My test :
Accu 4.7GB DVD-R (Silver/Purple), Meritline, 11/25/02, 4GB, 56min (1x)

[Da Man]

Accu, cdrdvdrmedia.com, silver/purple/Avdvinfo show Lead data as maker, burn in nero and dvddecrypter at 2x....30 minutes to burn 4.24G iso movie in it

Optodisc, tapeandmedia.com, 11/25/02, silver/purple. Using DVDXCOPY V1.2 Nero burning 3.8G at 24min

LEAD DATA and MORE DVD-R media are only 1x certified.

The were burned in my DRU-500A at 2x with Nero and played well in my Pioneer 444S standalone DVD player, as well as to a friend's Philips standalone player.

media cost about 3€ p.

Have a nice day!

Hi All,
I did burn 24 DVDs without a coaster (12 ACCU and 12 Ritek).
I bought ACCU ($0.86), then RITEK DVD-R 4.7GB General (around $0.83)
Both are Silver/Purple in cake box

I do not have any relationship with this store, just give you guys a link so you can check it out. By the way, I ordered 12/10 and I got the package on 12/11 (1 days)

DVDDecrypter
Sony DRU-500A - Firmware 1.0f
Burn 3.5GB in 24 minutes (I guess that is 2x)
Intel P4 - 2.53GHz, 512MB, HardDrive with 8MB buffer (I don't know if this help the burning speed, I think it is)

I have Optodisk dvd-r But When I try to burn at 2x It says it is but it still burns at 1x.. I have the 1.0f firmware is there anything else I need to do to get this to work or is it just "sometimes the media does sometimes it doesn't"?

I can verify the RITEK DVD-R's that are mentioned above will now burn at 2x with the 1.0f firmware (they didn't with 1.0d).

Got mine for 0.83 each, plus 100 DVD cases +Free UPS ground shipping at: http://store.yahoo.com/supermediastore/ritekcombo.html

total was $113 with the DVD cases (which are pretty nice).

Anyone knows if the yellow top Datasafe Gen. 3 (1x) burn at 2x on the SONY?
