    2x media at 2x - duh
    4x media at 4x - duh

    (even on an 8x burner)

    Haven't tried 8x media - 4x is pretty easy to come by, and cheap enough. I buy 2x media when the have stuff on sale.

    I'm just not much of a rebel....

    How about using some proper english, such as:

    At which speed do you burn DVDs?

    Answer: At the speed the media supports, limited by my burners 4x capability, (BFD!)

    A preposition is a terrible thing to end a sentence with.
    Usually long gone and forgotten

    I implied nothing of the sort! Just having a little fun and being informative on proper english.

    Join the discussion or go away. This is a worldwide community, not all english is perfect.

    Now shove off.

    Using a NEC ND-2510:

    Arita 4X DVD+R (Ricoh) @ 6X
    Platinum 8X DVD+R (Ricoh) @ 8x

    Platinum 4X DVD+R (Ritek) @ 2.4X because if burned @ 4X, playback is choppy.

    You'd be very unhappy in Chicago then. We always said things like "Make sure you bring your lunch with". And you'll be very busy here trying to correct grammar and spelling, like any forum. Instead, try to distill the essence of the post without passing judgment on how it's worded. Just some friendly advice so you don't get flamed mercilessly

    Oh yeah ....4X using Maxell DVD-R.

    4X media burned at 4X, otherwise why have a 4X burner in the first place?
    Quote Quote  
  17. I usually burn one notch less than max. speed

    So if the media is 4x...I'll write it at 2x


    2x media - 1x


    I can get away with writing at max speed...but I'd rather play it safe


    That I do my burning on another computer, the extra wait doesn't bother me much.


    FWIW, I never had a bad burn (at any speed)

    Then perhaps you should check the poll on where people are from......

    I could swear the statement had to do with what language was spoken on this board, not where people were from.
