Would it be possible, for example by modding the aspi driver, to masquerade a 4x media to the recording sw when using a A105? Or is the max. burning speed limited and controlled only by the DVD burner firmware?

It is controlled by firmware. The drive just ignores the 4x command if no 4x media is present

ASPI

I downloaded a slightly newer aspi version from www.adaptec.com and seems to be doing quite well. 4.71.2 version ASPIcheck.

Intersting note. When I burn with Nero (ver 5.5.10.7b) it uses NERO ASPI file I downloaded from their site many moons ago.. well a few anyway.. Wnaspi32.dll Ver 2.0.1.50 just a bit of info. Perhaps it is of some value to someone using NERO and having a bit of trouble. You see.. there are soooo many variables from machine to machine that I can tell you I am getting great burns with (this and that) and I can point you in the "GENERAL" directions of success, but you will have to gather up the tweaks here and there to make it work on your particular computer. Even how well the North and South bridge are working with the CPU either VIA, Intel, etc makes a difference on what you are doing.

Alexnoe: Gutten Tag! I use the Ritek 4X (G04) media I got from RIMA.COM DVD and CD media -CHEAP and it came 25 pack for 50.00 and burns at 4 X all the time on my Pioneer 4X (aka CenDyne) DVR-105 model.

Any advantage in upgrading the firmware on the DVDR-105? Seems to work just fine with 4X media the way it sits... ver 1.0 firmaware.

Pioneer 106/A06 burner

I've got a Pioneer 106(bulk) burner in erly August. It has massive problems with the DVD-RW from Princo(1x), only 10-15% of these can be used. Most of them got a "write error" during wrting. These DVD-RW can be written correctly using the Toshiba SD-R5002 which I've had before I brout thist one. Burn the DVD+RW from Platinum(2.4x) is OK. Has someone else tried also this new burner?

I have an A03, and it writes Princo DVD-RW, but at a really poor quality.

Several users of Princo 2x RW have BTW reported the discs to be screwed after 1 or 2 rewrites.

Just stay away from Princo ... neither their 1x nor their 2x RWs are any good!

too late...

but I've bought 50 pieces Princo DVD-RW BEFORE I bought the Pioneer 106 because my Toshioba SD-R5002 can write them very well...

I have a Pioneer DVR 104 and recently Upgraded the firmware to 1.40.

Should this upgrade the burner so that it will burn at the max that the media will accept?

I have been using DVDit to burn some tests to a Maxell DVD-RW that states it is 2x compatable. As far as I can tell however it is still burning at 1x.

Is there something that I need to do?

1x media used in 4x burner

I just bought a 4x burner A06
I have several TDK 1x-2x dvd-r that I would like to use in the new burner.
Could I still burn at 1-2x speeds the old 1x-2x media in the new 4x burner?

Thanks,

I have just two quick comments.

"There is no overburning for DVD, so there won't be any way to overburn a DVD"
First of all, it is possible to overburn DVDs, but not safely. Nero will allow you to overburn in the expert features tab in the preferences dialog box, and includes a warning about the consequences.

"Is DVD+ or DVD- better?
You'll only cause flamewars, fought by users who use single-format writers and who have paid more than they are worth..."
Not true. Which disk is better depends on your needs. the "-" alliance has the advantage of slightly better compatibility (see one test's results @ CDR info) and a few extra megs, while the "+" alliance has lossless linking and the ability to be burned in both CLV and CAV. It all depends on your needs.
NOTE: the biggest difference in compatibility is not the -/+, but whether or not the disk is an R or a RW.

Not true.
Most of the trolls are gone...that's why it is not too true any longer.

OMG! I just saw the last post in the faq

"13.I'm trying to use VIVASTAR discs...

Shame on you!"

I have just found yet another 'corrupted' backup DVD-R that I had written. These Vivastar DVD-R blanks truly are crap crap crap! I fell actually quite sick that I am losing so much. I am going through rescuing what I can - since discovering the first couple of backup discs that had gone bad - and I have found more. I bought the discs as cheap unbranded on a spindle - assuming they were cheaper beacause you don't get cases with them....... I did verify the burns afterwards, but also another thing, I did my burns with Nero 6.0.xx and I have also read in a few places on here that this would not lead to very high quality writes, so I don't know if that is a factor too; less chances of recovery from corrupted data.
Now I am giving CDRTools a try, as in the link - Mkisofs to make an ISO and then burn it with DVD-Decrypter. I will be happier also if it does indeed create DVDs that can be read in more Drives than the dvds I used to write with Nero could be

Hi, Alex. This one question has been answered many times with people with hunches; I want it answered by somebody who really knows:

What happens if one has both Roxio Media Creator 8 and Nero 7 installed under one OS??

or, more generically,

Can one have more that one burning program installed under one OS?

Regards.

Hi, Prince

Thanks for your short answer. Supposing I go ahead and install both of those two competitors, what could be possible issues that I should be aware of?

Regards.

I think this link, provided elsewhere by setarip_old, may be included in alexnoe's FAQ; it is an explanation of various error-messages that Nero gives:
