Changing the Burning Speed in iTunes

Has the option for changing the burning speed been taken away in the most recent version of iTunes. I thought this used to be an option under iTunes/Preferences, but I can't seem to find it. Any information about this would be appreciated.

  • A WAY TO CHANGE THE BURN SPEED????

    Hi,
    I posted a similar question before, but didnt get a definative answer... I'll ask it in a more concise way. Is there a way to change the burn speed in DVD SP2? I didn't see any settings relating to that.
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    There is a work around. In DVD Pro, "format" with the output device set to disc and the format to ".img". When this is finished, open Disk Utility and "convert" the .img file to a CD/DVD master (.cdr). This file can then be used to burn to a blank DVD. If you click the options arrow in the burn dialog before beginning the burn, you can select a speed other than "maximum". Not elegant, but it works. My HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4165B DVD drive only succeeds at burning at its maximum rate about 1/3 of the time. However, at 12X it has been quite reliable.

  • Can I change the burn speed in compressor 4

    First time trying to burn a 12 minute DVD from Compressor. I got an error that says use a different brand DVD (i have used memorex dvd's before with no problem) or burn at a slower speed. How do I adjust the burn speed?

    Well, given that you can write an img, I'd guess the most likely culprits to be the media (hopefully) or the optical drive. Easiest step is to try a different brand. Bad batches are occasionally manufactured. FWIW, I am a long-time user of Verbatim and have rarely had a problem.
    So try another brand and see whether it will burn from the disk image.
    If it does not, try a short section of a different movie. And if that failed, it would point strongly toward the drive.
    Good luck.

  • How do you change the burn speed when making a CD?

    I have tried burning my iTunes purchases onto a CD, and when I try to play them back on my CD player, nothing happens. It will play back in iTunes on the Mac, but not on my CD player or in my car.
    I suspect it has to do with the speed at which they burn, but I have no idea how to change that?

  • Burning Speed in Itunes

    What is the normal time it should take to burn and audio CD in Itunes? I have a the superdrive that comes the with the Powerbook G4 12 inch but I feel like burning a CD in itunes 7 is a lot slower than it was in 6. Anyone know?

    I haven't noticed any difference burning from iTunes 7 vs 6. What is your burn speed set to in your iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Burning panel? I have mine set to the top rated burn speed for my SuperDrive or 24x rather than Automatic. I believe your SuperDrive has the same write speed according to this review. See if changing the burn speed to a specific number improves the write performance.

  • Changeing your burning speed

    I have had a few people tell me that if my dvd's are not playing on another dvd player to change the burning speed down to 1x or 2x how do you change your burning speed on idvd, I know this is a simple question for someone. I'm using a g-5 dual and fuji silver label dvd's. thanks

    thanks everyone I may just have to make a master copy and then burn it on toast because thats the only way I have found to change the burn speed and I am really getting tired of hearing clients tell me they can't play the dvd on there machine or laptop

  • Itunes can't burn this cd because the burn speed is too fast for your cd...

    For the first time since upgrading to 10.3.9 I'm trying to burn a data disc from iTunes to backup some files. It fails every time and ruins the blank CD. This is getting expensive!
    The CDs are Phillips CD-R 52x. (Yes, I've used blanks from this very box before the 10.3.9 upgrade and it never failed before.) iTunes was set to 24x burn then changed to "maximum possible" for the burn speed.
    Most times it looks like it's burning the playlist but around the 5th file it spits it out and gives the error "itunes can't burn this cd because the burn speed is too fast for your cd burner or media". Sometims it just locks up itunes with "checking media" and I have to force quit iTunes. Then the disc is ruined. It won't even show up in Finder.
    Ugh. Anyone know how to fix this?

  • Is there a way to Change the Writing Speed When Burning CD-R's?

    Is there a way to change the writing speed when burning CD-R's?
    I don't see any options in Disk Utility.
    Rob
    P.S. Since I am burning coasters lately with the Pioneer DVR-111D, I though that I might solve the problem by using a lower write speed.

    I dn't believe so with Disk Utility although you can with Roxio Toast Titanium. I would try another media brand, like Verbatim, as a first step and see if the coaster problem goes away.

  • Burn speed error iTunes

    iTunes v 6.05
    Selected 4x burning speed under preferences
    Will not burn , get message, "iTunes can't burn this CD because the burn speed is too fast for your CD burner or media". I am using Verbatim disks with said burn speed and didn't have problems in the past. Have tried marking 2x, maximum possible burn speed and nothing works. Also could not burn pictures to a CD either. This used to work before memory upgrade.
    1.25 GHz PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Try a different brand. Highly recommended:
    FUJI
    TDK
    Verbatim
    Make sure the CDs are not dirty, smudged and/or scratched.

  • How do I lower the burn speed?

    Using strictly the apple Disc utility, how do I control the burn speed?

    I just went through this this week as I'm new to iDVD. When you're in Disk Utility and go to burn it, there is a drop down next to the drive that the disk is in. I think it lists the drive, I'm not in front of my Mac now. Click on that, and you will then see the option to change the drive speed.
    I just did this for the first time last night and am finally getting clean DVD burns. Before I just let iDVD do the whole thing from render to burn and the playback kept hanging up on the DVD player. Going at 1x's seems to have corrected it for me.

  • How do i stop my itunes from changing the location of my itunes media.  i have it saved on a external HD and it keeps changing back to my local drive with out being told

    how do i stop my itunes from changing the location of my itunes media.  i have it saved on a external HD and it keeps changing back to my local drive with out being told

    No, an external drive will not always be mounted. If the drive goes to sleep, it can unmount, or it may unmount for other reasons. As Chris said, confim that the drive is mounted and active before launching iTunes.
    Regards.

    Someone else in the forum told me how to do this.  If you have Onyx on your system then select Parameters, iTunes and turn off high contrast mode.  If you don't have Onyx, I'd suggest getting it.  It is freeware and used to help maintain your system.  Good luck

  • How do I change the chapter order in itunes 11.0.4?

    How do I change the chapter order in itunes 11.0.4? The book chapters used to look like the playlists in music. You could ;change how it was sorted by the name time, artist etc. Now there isn't a catagory label and the background is the same color as the background of the book photo.

  • How do i change the artist view in itunes 11 back to the original view?

    How do i change the artist view in itunes 11 back to the original or pre itunes 11 view?

    You can't. iTunes 11 has different ways of viewing your library from earlier builds. You can restore some of the look/function of the old version by turning on the menu bar (ctrl-b), sidebar (ctrl-s) and also clicking the magnifying glass then unticking Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour.
    If that isn't enough the see this post on how to roll back to iTunes 10.7.
