My TDK VeloCD 48x/24/48 is burning slower than advertised. I've had great success with it previously, just recently its been burning full 700 MB discs @48x which for some reason finishes in 5 minutes instead of 2:30. I'm using Fuji *TY* Media 48x. Is there a reason for this slowdown? Computer...

ray field wrote: it's a small problem but an annoying one: is there a way to get this software to remember that I'm using 700MB disks and not 650? When I write data disks, I always have to mouse- button the bottom frame and check "estimate based on 700MB." I can't find any other...

Drive doesn't recognise blank CDR - Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-R2002 Main questions: What would cause a drive to be able to write to a CDR containing data and not to a blank one and also be able to read all discs perfectly? Also why did it work before I re-formatted my hard drive and re-installed Windows...

Having struggled for years with the not-quite working technology that is CDRW I now want to investigate DVD writing. Here is the scenario: We are a company with about 50 geographically seperate branches, we want each branch to manage it's own backups. Data to be backed up grows every day and has...

I used the Original Nero 6....with no problems when burning DVDs after using DVDshrink. I then upgraded to Nero 6.....19 and the program does not have the same dvd burning program as the older version. Any hints on how to use dvdshrink and then burn a dvd using Nero version...

Out of about 20 audio CDs I've tried in my Toshiba SD-M1712 DVD-ROM, it has refused to play 3, including one dual-layer hybrid SACD disc.

Often if the burned CD is placed in the drive for the first time since boot up...

Hi all, My friend over in the UK had sent me a video that I wanna put on DVD. Its about 20 minutes long. He had recorded it with his DVD recorder. It's in PAL with the AC3 Stereo audio, it's a straight DVD rip, that he had put up on FTP for me to get. Anyways, my player doesn't accept the PAL...

After editing/burning over 300 music/data CDs I thought I understood what this was about. I thought I understood that you can't burn a CD-R with something like HotBurn2 or ECDC 2.3c and later go back and burn again. And that you should close all with Killfile, etc. to improve System Resources....

Also I was in the local CompUSA a couple of days ago and none of their Fuji disks were "made in Japan", meaning they aren't TYs. Buyer beware! rtr wrote: My warning is - I didnt receive the last TWO rebate Fuji deals. Signed up at the website and then NOTHING. Called them up...
