16x DVD burner burns only at 4x

[Martin Jørgensen]

Hi there..
I have this problem with my new DVD-burner...
The drive should be able to burn at 16x on DVD+R, but will only burn at 4x.. Does anyboby know how this can be...? -I can't change the speed in Nero..
The thing is, that the DVD i'm trying to burn on, is DVD+RW and DVD+R, and Nero and my drive, can't ID the disc as any other thing as a DVD+RW, which only can be burned at 4x.. My old burner could burn on the same disc's with 8x... Can anybody tell my why i have this problem, and how to fix it..?

I hope so..

Thanks

You should be able to change the burn speed in nero. I know i can with Nero

Martin Jørgensen...... Have you checked your new burners spec ......its possible that the new one will only burn a DVD at 4x despite the fact that it will burn a cd at 16x

Check the write speed of the DVD disks your using , they are probably write speed 4 x

Hope this helps,

a dvd will only write at the max the disc can accept, if the disc are 4x or 8x or 16x there are very few 16x disc available and they are expensive so i doubt that  you are using  a 4x disc and thats the speed you will max out at.
