    Hi, I have a Sony dvd burner and when I use Nero or CopyToDVD I cant burn at 4x no matter what media I use.

    I decided to try the "nero speed test" before burning and to my horror the fastest that the dvd files on my 7200 rpm hard disk will read at is 2x thus I am only able to burn at 2x even with 4x media.

    I have the latest firmware for my writer so I was wondering what the heck is slowing my read speed of my HD to 2x as ive tried burning from both NTFS and FAT32 partitions with the same results.

    I am using 4x Ritek die silver unbranded discs and 4x Princo die with the same results and the latest version of Nero (5.5.10.20).
    DMA is defo enabled and working so Im stumped at this problem as it appears as if my HD is at fault but I have now tried burning from 3 different HDs with the same results

    Can anyone help me please?

    Excuse if this is a stupid reply but are you using RW or R media. If it's RW currently you will only be able to burn at 2X max -- you will probably find running Nero or some other tests your burn rate is actually about 1.85X
    If it's DVD-R you should be able to burn at 4X provided you have 4X media AND the hardware device (i.e your burner) supports it.
    If you are using proper DVD-R 4X media and your device is rated at 4X for burning DVD's the only thing I can siggest is that you see if there is a firmware upgrade required.

    (I'm using 'Doze XP as a guest running vmware on Linux Mandrake 9.1 and 4X works on LG burner -- can't tell if Mac supports 4X or not).

    There is a firmware bug in the Sony which sometimes inhibits Ritek G04 @ 4x.
