IC7 burn speed?

[roblobster]

I'm using Instant Copy 7. Does anyone know how to determine the actual write speed? I've set burn speed to auto. I'm burning Princo 4x on a Sony drive which should burn at 4x as well. But the program doesn't indicate that information anywhere unless I missed it.

I wouldn't burn with IC7 if I were you. I would download pdi2iso, convert the pdi files to an ISO file and then burn with decrypter.

IC7 might burn it just fine...I don't know, I don't trust Pinnacle that much. But I do know that I have gotten some DVDs out of IC7 that had structure issues and had I burned before checking I would have had a coaster.

I wouldn't burn with it either. Nothing solid to base it on, apart from several coasters IC gave me. And they were inexplicable, couldn't come up with any convincing reason. (But the transcoding quality can be quite good with Instant Copy.)

I know Pinnacle is not exactly the popular program. I've had my share of frustrations with it especially with Expression. But so far, Instant Copy is the only one that worked consistently and it's feature to omit certain titles are useful over DVD Shrink's option to only "still frame" them, which shaves a lil bit more space. I haven't been able to burn with Nero, which is surprising because of its popularity. Keep giving me "Invalid Block Address" errors. I still don't know what that means. I would prefer to use it if I can.

That's on you then. pdi2iso is free, daemon tools to check the ISO is free, and decrypter is free. Use IC7 if you want, but sorry I can't help you.
