How do you change your burn rate on a DVD Burner? It seems the default is 4x, but my Drive is a up too 18x? I have an LG super multi DVD rewriter. And im using Nero 6 ultra, any help?
 
check the media your using as it will also have a limit on its burn rate, you may find that your using 4x blanks.
 
what are you burning, its ALWAYS best to burn as slow as possible.... the error rate goes much higher if you burn fast (especially if burning video)
 
I'm sure it defaults at the max allowable burn speed your media (Discs) can handle. What speed do your disks handle? I haven't used Nero in a while so I could be wrong.
 
I too, had sort of a similar issue (not quite though) I bout cheap a** DVD blanks. Really cheap. They were specified for 16x. When I burnt w/ 16x, It kept failing. I couldnt burn even a single disc without it failing. I changed it to 4X, and ROCK stable (i still have to try 8x though)

Moral: Slow and steady wins the race!
 
That's what my friends always tell me, burn at a slower rate.
They also told me that even if it doesn't fail, the music or video quality produced by a slower rate is better, I don't know if that's true.
Sorry to add more question, but is that true (that the quality is better if you burn it at a slow rate)?
 
No
Burning at a slower rate will increase the chances of a first time error free disc.
If it burns successfully, data is data whether burnt fast or slow:)
 
No that's not true. Fast speeds can cause what I call ghosting in which the burning programs thinks it wrote the information but there are infact lapses in the data.
