How do I burn @ Slower then 1x?

[indolikaa]

I need your help! URGENT BURNING PROBLEM.


I'm trying to burn a new set of Maxell DVD-R discs. But they practically vaporize when I try to burn them. I've tried regular unleaded, unleaded plus, and even premium, and they still aren't playable in my Fisher Price My First DVD Player.

Anybody know what I can do to slow the burn down? I tried Preparation H but that didn't help.

Thanks in Advance!

yeh,if you have speed problems,then either,
1.buy a new decent high speed burner.
2.buy a decent standalone player.
3.buy a decent pc,that will accomadate Ultra DMA,et al,and allow proper writing at high speed.
or
4.buy some decent media,stop using cmc,or pricko based dvds.

1. my btc 8x burner is on sale for $80 righ now, 300+ burned and its supposed to be a cheap burner

2. $70 philips, plays dvd mp3, raw dvd iso, and just about anything i put in it

3. 1.1 celeron, no gonna even start on this one

4. no arguement here, dont be cheap!! haha, im still using my mxlrg02 that i got for under a buck a piece. lesson 1, shop around. even though i got memorex cmc and havnt really had a prob burning or playing it.

1. BTC (EMPREX) 4x for $59
2. Cyberhome 300 for $43
3. AMD K6/2 200Mhz ($0) with TX2 UltraATA card ($0)
4. 60 cents each for PRODISCS03 and $1.10 each for Taiyo Yuden

Smarts is just as effective as money.
Burns almost perfectly.

Odd. When I burn Media Cache discs using deisel, they play as well as they ever did in my sister's SD-1300.

That's a real ******* answer.

I can monetarily afford as many blanks as I need, but I can't necessarily afford the wasted time. Nothing wrong trying to get your coaster-count down to zero, nothing at all.

Actually, he wants to get his coaster count down, but he also wants to waste time (below 1x=more burn time)

[Nilfennasion]

If you look at time consumption in terms of monetary cost, I can't see how anyone can conclude that a coaster is more expensive than burning at 1X.
