Dvd writing speed slow

I am having a problem with burning dvds. I use new a SATA LG DVD-RW drive supporting 22x writing speeds, and quality certified disks. After creating a burning group and changing permissions i was able to burn dvds using k3b, but at 1>speeds. Brasero faced the same problem. Any help would be welcome. If anyone knows some steps i could use to determine the problem and provide info that would be weclome too.
EDIT: The situation remains the same after using growisofs. It shows 22x speed but writes at 1> speeds. dmesg shows buffer I/O errors and something about growisofs using 32 bit capabilities legacy. I use 64 bit i don't know if it matters. Command hdparm -v /dev/dvd has this output:
/dev/dvd:
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Bad address
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

I have some similar issues:
Recording dual layer dvd's i set the speed to 2.4x, but the burner does the process at 0.6x ~ 0.7x...............
This happens when using growisofs............... and i tryied both by command line and via K3b... getting the very same results allways: A dual layer dvd takes 3 hours to be recorded at this speed.......

DVD writing speed for home DVD player

I was just wondering what is the best speed to burn movies for a home DVD player (2x, 8x or 16x). I have heard that you can have problems with a DVD player reading the disk if you burn at too high of a speed. I have 3 DVD players at home with the oldest being 2 years old.

I don't know about "best" speed. I do know that slower is better, your chances for a compatibility issue increase with the speed you burn. I've had good luck with 8x burns. Any higher than that has been iffy for me.

DVD Writer Speed Slow Down

YesterDay I was write a DualLayer DVD(8.5GB) of non-branded Empty Disk using Ashampoo Burning Studio 2010. It provide me only 2.4x speed for this write. The write was successfull. But after this write I try to write another dvd of 4.7GB then it give me only 4x for non-branded empty disk and 8x for branded like SONY Empty Disk, and it is the maximum speed.
Is this maximum speed or my laptop Dvd Writer has any problem. PlZ help me.
My Laptop is: Compaq Presario CQ42-273TU
It is a newly purchased laptop.

Read DVD at a slower speed?

How can I read a DVD as\t slower speeds?
I have a home made DVD which I would like to convert to MP3 (Gospel sermon from my church)
But the guy who made the DVD's for me put a CD label/sticker (like those printable ones -> like this template here ) but the genius didn't place the label to the center of the DVD.. so how when my Macbook Pro read the DVD it seems to be spinning to fast and starts to vibrate (the label is throwing it of balance a bit while it is spinning) and then I start to get a light noise & vibration from the DVD reader/drive on my laptop

I sucessfully installed Solaris 10 via the installation dvd after reburning it on a lower setting. The OS booted and works wonderfully. When I start my computer, the GRUB loader comes up and I am able to select both my Windows and Solaris operating systems to boot!
Unfortunately, when I select Windows (Vista Home Premium) from GRUB, it loads into Vista's "cannot boot windows!" dialogue. I loaded the Vista install disc and attempted a fixmbr and a system repair, but BOTH said that my filesystem was corrupt! However, I opened up a command prompt and can access not only all files on the windows partition, but can run the dos programs from the command prompt, so the drive is fully intact. Is this normal, and do I have to boot Windows Vista with GRUB in a special manner? Vista uses a different type of bootsector than previous versions, so maybe I need to configure GRUB? I know this is no longer completely a "Solaris Installation" discussion, but my problem arose from Solaris Installation, so help would be appreciated. I don't want to rewrite a second Vista over my lovely new (working!) Solaris partition. :(

How do you change the dvd write speed in pre 11

can i change the dvd write speed i pre 11 and if so how thanks

Not in Premiere Elements.
You'll need to use Premiere Elements to burn the DVD files to a folder, and then use a program like the excellent, free ImgBurn to burn the VIDEO_TS folder to a disc at a slower speed.

Encore CS4 cancels itself during DVD writing.

When I try to build my DVD everything works fine up until DVD writing. Then Encore suddenly says "canceling" and ejects my DVD-R with nothing on it.
I've tried several DVD-R brands, cleared the media cache, checked the project for orphans and what not but nothing seems to work. I've also made sure Encore is at write speed 2X (the speed my Mac can handle).
I have 2 Premiere movies on the DVD (not Dynamically linked), and a bunch of .mov files in timelines from After Effects. Once again, everything seems to get transcoded with no problem, it's just afterward when it says "writing" that it suddenly cancels.
I'm using a Intel iMac purchased in 2008. Any help would be great!!! Cheers

Add me and my problem to your list of those who have had the Party HD menu.
I have a problem that may be related. Come see my thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/457417?tstart=0
Please any one with a solution post it somewhere. And I don't want to hear "Rebuild". There was a time a while back where one of my Premier Projects corrupted and someone in an obscure thread posted a link to an xml editor that could read into the project files for premier and allow you to edit out the corrupt bits. I used this and it fixed the problem enough that I could resurrect the project. I was hoping someone knew of a similar thing for Encore.
The Encore project i have been working on is so close to complete and more than 2 years in the making. It took me a couple of weeks getting my menus and AE backgrounds all sorted out, to have it collapse on me now means another 2 weeks or so rebuilding the menus. If I could look into and edit a backup of the project to see and fix what was wrong it would mean a lot of time saved.
I am suspecting that Party HD menu and possibly a few other "orphan" links to assets I deleted from the hard drive are the cause, but until I see the reference I wouldnt know. I really need to at least have a window into the Encore project file.
Anyone have any ideas?

Is there a way to burn DVDs at speeds lower than 4x?

Hi to everybody. I need to burn DVDs at speeds lower than 4x (preferably 1x) but both Burn and LiquidCD (together with Disk Utility) are unable to. I believe that this depends on the fact that alle these utilities rely on Apple's optical Burning Framework. Is there a way to get rid of this problem without needing to buy Toast or Disco (I very rarely burn CDs and an expense in this direction wouldn't be justifeied).
TIA.

Insert a blank disc (it's not going to write, so the disc won't be wasted) then look in the "Disc Burning" section of System Profiler (Utilities folder). It will show the supported burning speeds for that disc in that drive. With my Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-115D and a Verbatim DVD-R 16X disc, it shows:
Write Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x, 20x
These speeds are determined by the drive and brand of disc, and cannot be changed by software. If you tried to run a drive at a slower speed, the drive's servo might not be able to keep the rotation smooth enough (so the dots are burned evenly spaced) without adding a heavy flywheel, and the laser would need to produce longer pulses at lower intensity. Laser diodes may quit when the power is reduced too much. For this drive, it must be the minimum power that laser will operate at, since the drive will burn DVD-RW discs at 1x or 2x. The RW must need more energy to burn each dot, so the laser power does not have to be reduced too much.
Why do you need to burn at slower speeds?
If you don't want to use DVD-RW, you may be able to find some older, lower speed DVD-Rs

You would have try one to see if they are compatible with modern burners.

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.

My mac book pro speed slow

speed slow problem for my mac book pro

My mac book pro has an i7 processor, and still slow. The monitor of activity, when the computer just turned on says 1.8 GB in use (or more). Is it OS Lion?, because the amount of processes in the list don´t use much memory. Programs have a delay to open, close, save, etc. Y can´t have more than 4 or 5 programs running and my memory decreases dramatically. My disk has 140 GB free. I´ll be very thankfull if I can have some help.

Dvd playback is slow

i have noticed that dvd playback is slow . i use vlc and kaffeine.if the dvd files are on hdd the playback is again slow.i have nvidia 630m optimus

Hi
If this delay appears only playing the movies and audio using the CD/DVD drive then you should check this short workaround:
1) Access the device manager
2) Expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI option
3) go to Primary IDE channel -> Properties -> Advanced settings
4) here you should check if DMA if available was chosen
If its not set to DMA if available then remove the Primary IDE channel from the device list and reboot the notebook.
After the notebook has booted again, check the single point again and check if DMA if available appears again

Speeds slow in the evening consistently

Hi everyone.
I had infinity 2 installed last week. Speeds at times are great - even yesterday I saw downloads exceeding 74Mbps around midnight.
However I am consistently seeing speeds slow to under 30Mbps or even slower in the evenings, which obviously coincides with peak times.
I am connected to the Wrexham exchange WNWX. The engineer did also test my line last week and he was getting about 71 Mbps without any errors. This was about midday.
I have been checking with the PC connected directly to the home hub4 via ethernet cable.
Surely the problem must be due to congestion on the cabinet/exchange/network?

Just joined here to say I am having exactly the same issue. I had BT Infinity 1 installed on June 17th and from the very beginning have been getting download speeds of up to 39mpbs except between the hours of 5pm to 11pm when I can barely achieve 1 mbp at times. It can vary by half an hour but its every single day. I too have constant upload speeds of around 8mpbs during this period.
Having read other similar threads I have neither the time or the inclination to go through the hassle of reporting this problem. However as it is obviously not my line or equipment at fault I just wanted to put my issue out there so BT could look at what appears to be a congestion issue. I live in Rochdale nr Manchester.
I know speed reduces at peak times but getting less than 1 mpb for up to 6 hours a day isn't really good enough is it. I got faster on my old Orange broadband which cost less.

Internet speed slows down when connected via airport express

Internet speed slows down when connecting via airport express. When connecting directly via the timecapsulethe internet speed is ok, when connecting via the airport express the speed slows down.What can I do to change that? Any suggestions?

Turn off the AirPort Express completely as a test, and move your computer very close to the location of the Express.
As I said before, the Express can only extend the bandwidth (speed) that it receives from the Time Capsule, so the speed that you see there with the Express powered off will be the fastest speed of which the Express is capable.
The Express will make the signal go further when it extends....but it will not make the signal go faster.
A good location for a device that extends wirelessly is a point that is about half the distance from the Time Capsule and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.
If you locate the AirPort Express too far from the Time Capsule or there are more than a couple of walls in the signal path, the signal will be very slow by the time that it reaches the Express....and the Express simply extends a signal that has already slowed down significantly.
If you already have the Express located about half the distance between the Time Capsule and general area that needs more wireless coverage, how many walls, ceilings or other obstructions are there in the signal path between the Time Capsule, the AirPort Express and the area that needs more coverage?
Often, due to obstructions, it is just not possible to achieve good performance when you try to extend a network wirelessly. The solution is connect the AirPort Express to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
There is virtually no signal loss with this type of connection, so the Express can be located exactly where it is needed and it will produce a much faster wireless signal in this type of setup.

Wrong DVD burning speed with DR4-A

The DVD burning speed of my DR4-A appears to be wrong, it should be 4x but is 3.1x. Why is this happening?
(I have updated the firmware from 2.17 to 2.30 and the DMA mode is enabled)

I HIGHLY recommend DVDDecrypter for what you are trying to accomplish. It is free. http://www.dvddecrypter.com
You can use it to copy files to your hard disk, then use DVDShrink to compress the files for burning onto your DVD. Then you can burn with Nero, or with DVDShrink.
These 2 free programs together have worked extremely well for me and they are actually far superior to any of the programs you pay big bucks for.

Speed slowing down

They said I should get 54/14 and when first installed got 42/9 so I thought OK not a problem I expected it to be less well now every time it decides to reboot its self my speed slows down I'm now on 28/8 and according to there speed test I have I line profile of 31.34 I am not happy does any1 think it will be possible to tell them to stick there infinity where the sun don't shine and get out of the contract as I can only see it getting slower

Hi J0nsey,
Thanks for posting. Can you try the speed test at www.speedtester.bt.com and post the results. If you’re still having problems with the speed I can look into it for you. Drop me an email with the details. You’ll find the “contact us” form in the about me section of my profile.

your router usually directs name resolution requests to bt dns servers
these convert web addresses that you type into numbers that the internet needs
bt dns servers are usually poor which could be responsible for the problems you have but the router doesnt allow you to change them
however it is possible to override them in the network settings of the pc
