Do you ever see any C1 errors with CDSpeed on your machines?

I recall having seen C1 errors on earlier versions of CDSpeed,

but I have run tests on several faulty discs on a number of drives
and can find no C1 errors any longer.

Perhaps the program has changed;
perhaps my drives (Plextor and Pioneer) are to blame.

Unfortunately, I'm not running Plextools and therefore have no further
information to offer.

Perhaps the Plextor used to pull the C1 errors out of thin air?
Perhaps CDSpeed used to pull the C1 errors out of thin air?
Perhaps Plextools used to pull the C1 errors out of thin air?

Anyhow, how would you get the C1 errors as you insinuated below when you
don't even have a drive reporting the C1 errors?

Erasable media are forgetful and unreliable at best.
Using the wrong class of medium will produce higher error rates

How can I find the writing speeds of a CD-R or CD-RW?

Modern erasables must have values in the ATIP or they default
to 2x only. Your mastering software will allow you to write at
the permitted speeds of which it is capable.

That is a problem at 4x and if that is the only permitted speed
you are likely to have a HighSpeed drive faced with unspecified
media or vice versa; in that case, the write is possible but will
probably have a high error rate.

Error rates go up sharply as length is increased.

Anything over 650 MB (74 minutes) is beyond redbook spec; anything
beyond 700 MB (80 minutes) is very high risk.

My tests ... suggest that you can get away with those

A recorder designated "High Speed" on the logo is designed

Some will record adequately on 1x-4x blanks, but results are

Most likely, you are using the wrong media.

If it's UltraSpeed, it wants discs in similarly marked
packages - rated 16x and above. If it's High Speed, it wants discs in
similarly marked packages, rated 4x and above.

Mike Richter (Slimy Friggin SOB) barfed (12/16/03):

Erasable media have proved unreliable. In addition if you have a
HighSpeed drive (rated above 4x), you should not use media rated
for a maximum of 4x of less; they are not HighSpeed. You may get
apparently good results, but the error rate is likely to be high
and reliability will be low.

Yes and no. Your drive may or may not write to media of a lesser
type than specified, but the quality of the write is generally
much less than that for the specified type, which is often less
than you'd want to begin with. I did not say that it would not
work, only that "you're asking for trouble".

Double-check your data, though. There may be an UltraSpeed drive
which will write as slowly as 4x, but I don't know of it.
