I have a DVD player , Pioneer DV-333.
I use to burn my VCD and SVCD at 4X with my HP CD writer. That's the max for that writer. It's just broke. I need to buy a new one.

Does anyone know the max CD writing speed I can go up to and still have the burned disc playable on my DVD player.

You can reply with the max speed you use. That's way, I can pick out the highest.
Thanks
