Help! Nero is not allowing me to write at less than 2.4X

[Dignan]

When I try to burn a DVDR disc on my (Dell) NEC-1100A drive using
Nero, it sees it as a 2.4X speed drive and won't let me change it to
1X. It is grayed out.
Do I have something set somewhere else to cause this? Or is it a hardware limitation?

Thanks,
Dignan

The base speed of DVD+R/+RW is 2.4x so I don't think you can go lower than that.

Why do you want to lower the speed for?

[Dignan]

I want the lower speed because I just purchased 50 Riteck 2X dvdrs.



I bought them from shop4tech as was recommended in teh media forum. What are the chances they take these back? I'd like to exchange them for 25 4Xs.

What should I tell them? It seems that they will charge a restocking fee and shipping if the wrong item was ordered instead of the wrong items sent(at best)

Anyone want buy 50 Ritek dvdr's at a $10 discount?

[Dignan]

Holy crap. I just realized even if they were 4Xs I still be screwed.

It appears my NEC 1100A drive will only burn DVD + Rs.

Yikes!

What is the deal with Dell anyway. They don't provide documentation with their new machines?

Oh well.

Yes it's a DVD+R/RW drive and all DVD+R media works in min. 2.4x so no need for slower writing speeds. You'll find documentation online here.

Thanks jsl. Got it bookmarked.

Dignan,

Can't you exchange the discs you bought for DVD+R/+RW discs? It was an honest mistake on your part, I sure hope they will let you exchange it.

If they won't, maybe you can sell it to someone who owns a DVD-R/-RW drive.
