Burning prolems at 8x _ PI/PO Error reading! Updated questio

[ffactoryxx]

Ok so I have a 3540A that i just got. Havea bunch of mcc 004 003 and 03rg media.

I choose 8x to burn in DVD dycryteper

It starts at 4x till like 20%

then moves to 6.3x till like 50%

then it goes to 8x until the final 5%

Is this normal or should it start right away

-----------------------------------------------------

Ok so now. How do i test the pi/po. I have dvdinfo pro. What settings do i set it at

and how do i view the results. I see numbers at the bottom like PI Peak, PI AVF total pi etc

Sounds about right. My Pioneer 109 gives similar times. About 8 minutes for a full DVD-R. How long for the full burning Process?

[ffactoryxx]

um maybe around 8 minutes.

Average 5.4x Max 8.2x

I tyhough it would start off at 8x

[Bodyslide]

Starts out around 4x, then goes to 6x then maxs out at 8x. 8-9 minutes is the normal time for a Single layer DVD-R
