    Well how do i start...okay I have the Z70V with the UJ-831D DVD Burner and used to burn at 8x using a 4x DVD+R. But now I can only burn at 2.4x for some odd reason using the same media LD S03. I also tried my memorex DVD-R 4x which also used to burn at 4x, but now it burns at 2x. I have defrag my hd and restore back to microsoft orignal IDE drivers with no luck of getting my speed up. I'm using the oem supplied nero. So anyone got an idea how to fix it.

    First, I'd just like to point out that back when you said you burnt at 8x on a 4x, everyone was sort of stunned because 99 times out of 100, that won't work.

    It seems weird, but I don't spend my life on all of the burning media and usually do fuiji -r's at 8x and not much of anything else. But keep this chart in mind and hopefully someone else will have some other ideas.

    As stunned as you might have been, I did burnt at 8x prior to now. It just seems werid that I can't burn at the same speed anymore considering its the same media.

    No, I'm just saying...... I wasn't really stunned (it's not like you burnt 100gb onto a standard dvd or something that would be amazing).... just repeating what some people in that thread posted at the time. At the time you asked if it could have been a fluke and so on. That part I don't really care about because it wasn't normal, but was good information.

    What I would care about is what media you're using now compared to then. I see it all possible that if you had 4x media and somehow burnt it at 8x....... perhaps the next batch was really only 2x....... I mean it just seemed weird. My advice would be to get good quality media that's been tested by say other members of this forum and try to reproduce what they've got. If you can't, maybe there's a problem with the drive, maybe just a problem with the software.....

    Post a thread with this subject: "what dvd media are you using and what speed are you burning at?" ........ that will attract the people you want to reply.
