When authoring a DVD for playback in a player does the write speed affect final playback quality? There has been a lot of misinformation posted about this, in forums all over the Internet, ever since CD writing started in the early 1990s. My goal is to get the BEST possible playback from a standard DVD. PS I also have downloaded AVS to DVD but have not tried it yet. so I would burn at 8x as that is the slowest burn speed that the DVD burner can burn at?ĭoes a slower burn give a better image or just less likelihood of errors? reading more information is helping but having a direct Q & A definitely gets answers fast.ĮG: my DVD says 1x -16x and the writer firmware is 8x. thanks Kerry since posting my question I have been doing some reading on the topic thru this forum as well as another site linked to from this forum. Which is why I advise to stick to middle speeds. Very slow burns aren't necessarily better with the media we have now and modern burners. But the firmware of modern drives have been optimized for faster speeds, and less attention was placed on compatibility of media and firmware with slow burns (below 4x). Which is why I advise to stick to middle speeds.Įrrors can be introduced into media by burning too fast. If you are using a slim drive, or a laptop drive, don't burn faster than 4x to 6x.Įrrors can be introduced into media by burning too fast. As a general rule, burn your media at half of its rated speed if you are using a desktop drive. So it is a combination of drive capability and speeds for each type of media that are laid out in the firmware. And burn speeds in the firmware vary according to the MID code of the blank media and the specified speeds for each code. No software can force the burn to a slower speed than the firmware of the drive allows you. Write speed for DVD's depends on the firmware of the drive. I prefer AVStoDVD, but DVDStyler probably has better controls for making menus.
