[blr_p]

[sri_rng]

exactly! for what purpose?? well TDK supports, so does Sony Hell every major DVD does.. whats the point?

 

[thebanik]

For a major *ahem* OS install, one of the workarounds is to write the iso @ 1x speed. I think thats the purpose,

 

[janitha]

may I know the purpose?

 

[Striker10]

why do you want to waste 60minutes writing a dvd on 1x??

 

[ultimabasher]

ps2 games. the *ahem* ones available here are mostly scratched and don't work very well.

The spindle of Sony DVD-R with me says 1X to 16X. I have used it @ 18X but not 1X!

 

[eagle004]

Well it seems the ones i have don't support burning at 1 x or 4x. Even 4x will be enough to get my job done

 

[ultimabasher]

get some elcheapo from market that costs really less

they show a speed of 16x but run only at 1x-4x-8x

 

[TechHead]

It's also a function of drive support for the media @ 1X..

 

[NeViLLe]

I don't think there is any DVD Writer or DVD-R or DVD+R in the market supporting 1x speeds...

However personally i've burnt Sony DVD+R and TY's at 2.4x speeds...

 

[sri_rng]

Dude I am looking at a sony DVR+R media which states 1x-16x speed right in front of me.. I Think sony works..and again my sony dru 820 a supports 1x writing..

 

[Photographer]

i have burned some sony dvd-rw's at 1X but those were no elchepo disks

 

[Rivunited]

i have burned ps2 backup dvds... but i usually do them on a really good quality dvds.. earlier i used to use the samsung pleomax blan dvds(40rs a dvd) and now uptill recent times i used TY dvds.. those do really well. and its not necessary to burn at 1x i did it at 4x, 6x and with out any problems at all

 

[Params7]

damn, I write ps2 iso's at 8x, and they work...I've seen a number of faq's by people actually recommending burns at half the dvd's max speed.

 

[blr_p]

So long as you have a good writer & media, i'm not understanding why it needs to be written at such a slow speed. A lot of discs won't write very well at low speeds. Only way you can tell is if you can quality test (Neros' CD/DVD speed) the written DVD. If you get a score of 90 & above, i daresay it should work just fine.

 

[eagle004]

ya you guys are right. i burned them at 6x and it worked like a charm!!
