    Try some different discs. Taiyo Yudens are widely considered to be the best blanks. Verbatims are a good second choice and easier to find if you are buying locally. What drive is it?

    Perhaps deleting the ide drivers will help. Windows will find and re-install them again when re-booted.

    Sorry, but there really needs to be more shouting over this. The Matshita DVD burner will not exceed 4x burning speed no matter what the disc. Acer will NOT recognise the fault, only insist on RMA the machine which is to the customers inconvenience.
    Everyone should email Acer and complain loudly that this burner is not working to spec.
