  Wrie Speed Problem

  Posted by Lumpy John on January 6, 2007 at 10:37 pm

  In AVID DVD by Sonic when I attempt to make a DVD Disc, the write speed in the dialog box defaults to Auto and won’t let me change it. The write speed on the DVD-9 is 2.4X and I’m not sure, but I believe it’s contributing to the problem when I burn the disc. I get audio pops and clicks, as well as distorted audio throughout the DVD.

  I’ve sort of exhausted all options on what the problem can be. Since the file’s audio sounds fine in the computer up until the DVD is burnt.

  Help Please.

  A double layer DVD+R DL disc is typically only 2.4x these days, else the disc will fail the write. My own recorder is rated for 4x, but in reality, 2.4x is best for now with this media type.

  Single layer media, can be burned reasonably safely at 8x, but many of the DVD media is rated up to 16x.

  If you first place the media in the DVD, and then select the burn option, it will have a chance to check the media, and determine what speeds it should offer. with 8x media in the drive, it will offer the burn speeds of 8x, 4x, and 2x, or auto for example. Likewise for other media if that media, and the recording device both support that function.
