Encore CS 5.1 Write Speeds

Only one write speed (6X) is available, what happened to the others and how can they be recovered? Have searched forums and the internet, but no resolution was found so far. Help is appreciated. Thanks.

But just like many burning apps, it will only present those speeds that are possible, given the burner and media used.
No blank disks loaded, DVD format and output to disk, my bluray drive gives me only 6x as an option; my DVD drive gives a choice of 8x and 6x.
Set for BD format and output to disk, I can only access the BD drive and write speed is greyed out (with or without a disk in the drive).

Why only 1 write speed available in Adobe Encore CS5.5?

Hi,
I am new to using my Encore in CS5.5. When trying my first project
I only have 1 write Speed which is 6X. I want to write 2X. I have searched
Forums & such with no answer that I can find. Help is appreciated.
Thanks

Create an ISO (Encore) or folder on your hard drive (Encore or Premiere Elements) and then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)

I Can't seem to change the write speed when building a BluRay disc in encore

I burned a Bluray project on disc and the video freezes after about a minute on each chapter, someone reccomended changing the BD-R disc brand and burn with a slower write speed (2x or 4x) But when I'm in the build panel, the destination section where the write speed section is blank and appears greyed out, so I can't change it. Can somebody guide me in how to fix this?
I'm on encore CS5 running on a Mac 10.7.4.
The Burner is a 12x LaCie D2 Blu Ray burner. Any suggestions?

Hi Stan, thanks for the quick reply, I took your advice and did the build as an image and then burned the project at the recommended write speeds in Toast Titanium (10.0.9). The first burn was at 4x and the second was at 2x BD (an option in Toast) both speeds gave me the same result. It solved the issue with the freezing during disc playback, however, when I tried to navigate from chapter to chapter the disc, once again, freezes. Additionally, although it doesn't freeze during playback as with my previous burns, there's still slight skip at the same positions where there used to be a freeze.
I'd be content at this point with the slight skip, but it's been one issue after another with these BluRay authoring projects. This is my first project switching from FCP and I've burned 11 Bluray discs on this project and still don't have a deliverable project that I can give to my client. Not what I was expecting from Encore. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All of a sudden only 4x and 8 x write speeds are available when building DVD

I have been using Encore successfully for several months to burn my indie film onto DVD for grant proposals . I found if I used a 1x write speed my DVDs played on most DVD players and computers.
As of yesterday all of a sudden and for no reason (I made no chances to my computer that day) the only write speeds available to choose from when building a DVD were 4x and 8X and when I burn a DVD at these speeds it does not play well enough to watch.
I rebooted my computer and even tried restored my computer to the states it was in a few days ago but nothing worked...in terms of getting back the broader choice of write speeds.
I called adobe Technical support and they said that I would need to pay for support to fix the problem...does any one know how I can fix this without having to pay adobe lots of money for tech support

a) The drive's lifecycle counter has kicked in. If so, it would prevent non-optimal software-controlled modes and only allow burning at its native speeds to extend life expectancy.
b) Some other tool that accessed the disc drive and reset its config data.
c) Windows itself has for some reason initiated a new hardware detection and reset driver config.
In any case, it would seem that you will have to re-initialize manually. Remove the drive from your device manager and have Windows scan for new hardware. Do so with admin privileges. Windows should automatically re-install the required drivers, but with default settings. Also check this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060. even though Encore doesn't give any error, the case listed under 1) may apply - if the driver is not installed correctly, it would report incorrect burn speeds.

Write speed

I've had a few issues with the final output (skips, pauses, etc) on a few of my projects and I have a feeling a big part is the media I'm using. I'm using the cheapest generic blank DVD available. I'm going to start using either Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden from now on because of the recommendations in a few of the posts here. Would everyone agree with either of these formats?
Another thing I want to try to see if it helps my projects is reducing the write speed of the burn. When I go into Encore (CS3) I'm only offered one write speed (5x). If only one option is shown is only option available for me, or is there a preferences or something I can change to reduce the write speed to see if that will also help?
Thanks,
Ty

A big YES on the brand of discs
Have Encore make an .ISO and then use the FREE
ImgBurn
to create the DVD, to see if you have more options

How do I lower the write speed for burning a DVD? It gives me no option!

Export the dvd as an image from Encore, then use Imgburn to make the discs. I usually export a dvd folder from Encore and then use Imgburn to create the iso and do the burning

Be careful if you download it, it will try and install allsorts of other programs. This thread might be of some help.

Disc Write Speed

For whatever reason, my mac mini had deteriorated since I proudly brought it home from the Mac Store. Once it was a proud, 24X burner but now it gets ahead of itself. Thinking it can still burn at max write speed, it tries and tries...and gets Medium Write Errors.
Normally this isn't a problem. Being a kind owner, I encourage it to step it down a notch. Try 6x-8x I say! And usually Toast and iTunes are supportive as well.
But Boot Camp is not I need to burn my drivers disc, but it wants to burn at max speed and boot camp doesn't seem to allow me to kick it down a notch. Is there some kind of script I can put somewhere to cut the write speed down universally across all applications? Or another idea?
Thanks!

CS3 write speed

Greetings,
I have been using cs3 and vista64 home premium now for awhile with few to no problems. I just purchased a replacement external dvd burner (LG 20X) for my failing plextor 16x.
When using my replaced plextor, I believe it burned at the max speed but only displayed "8X" in the speed indicator box. My internal writer speed is displayed correctly at 6x (I think, I have not checked for sure.)
Now after replacing with the new LG20, there is no displayed speed at all. The internal displays as before. I believe the new external is writing at max speed,without emperical testing. The most disturbing aspect of the situation is no longer having the ability to select slower burn speeds with the external LG20. Anyone have this problem? TIA Dennis - Iowa

Neil,
Thanks for the reply. I do use 16x TY printable disks. The LG20 states it writes 20x to 16x disks. I don't recall seeing any actual 20x printable TY disks.
One other issue I have run into with CS3 is what evidently Encore considers "smurfed" files. I had never before had a file not burn and cause Encore to stop working and close. I had one during the first few CS3 sessions and just removed it from the project. Then the next session I had 2 more files rejected. Then after a few more sessions I have had one more rejected. In each case I just removed from the project and it completed. I have not seen any similar posts on message boards with this issue. I have not attempted to burn these smurfed files in different projects. What do you think? Dennis - Iowa

What are the advantages of varying write speeds and burn speeds?

What are the advantages of varying write speeds and burn speeds?

The slower the speed, the fewer burn errors (or, in other words, you'll burn fewer "coasters"). I've always tried to burn at a slower speed, i.e. 2x - 4x. I'd rather wait a few minutes more and I've never had any burn errors.

*TERRIBLE* "Write" speeds w/2x Samsung 850 Pro Internal SSD (RAID-0).. HELP! ( pics)

[url]http://imgur.com/a/5p05u[/url]
Hello.. I was really hoping somebody could help me out with this, as I'm pretty much starting to lose hope..
I've attached as many relative screenshots as possible, to make it easier to quickly see what's going on.
I've got [b]2x brand-new, Samsung 850 Pro 512GB SSD's[/b] installed inside my MacBook Pro.. [b]One inside the hard-drive bay, and one inside the Optical Bay[/b] (SuperDrive Bay), using an OWC Data-Doubler..
I've got these drives configured using Disk Utility, into a RAID-0 striped configuration..
[u]The drives are rated @:[/u]
[b]Sequential Read:[/b] 550MB/s
[b]Sequential Write:[/b] 520MB/s
[img]http://i.imgur.com/sY83PX0.png[/img]
So "theoretically", I should be achieving approximately close to double these speeds (since that's the basis behind RAID-0 configurations)
[u]Both SSD's are connected internally via SATA-III (6Gigabit Link + 6Gigabit Negotiated Link Speed)[/u].. Both in the hard-drive bay, as well as in the Optical Bay (confirmed in pictures)..
I'm getting [b]*EXCELLENT* "Read" Speeds[/b], yet [b]*HORRIBLE* "Write Speeds[/b].. to the point that the RAID-0 software configuration is not even achieving *near* the "Write" Speed of even one of these drives.. let alone 2 of these drives in RAID-0..
[img]http://i.imgur.com/0jw9Z7l.png[/img]
I've tried contacting Samsung directly regarding this issue, but since they don't exactly get along with Apple, and even more-so, dislike anything that has to do with "RAID" configurations, I was left with practically no help on that end..
I've tried contacting Apple, who said that I'm pretty much on my own, in terms of support, since [i]they[/i] don't exactly get along with Samsung either.. and don't provide much of any support whatsoever, when it comes to third-party, hardware components that are not upgraded directly through Apple themselves.. (aka no support for user-end personal upgrades)
Both of these drives are [b]*Brand New*[/b] directly out-of-the-box, shipped from Amazon, as "new, un-opened" items..

I apologize in advance if there's a lot of pictures to go through, however, I know how much of a pain in the *** it can be to troubleshoot these sort of problems, let alone, try to help somebody else troubleshoot these problems while not physically being there in person.. I tried to provide the [b]most comprehensive[/b] troubleshooting steps I've taken thus far, as to hopefully make this thread as fruitful as possible, and eliminate any unnecessary steps that have already been taken..
I've tried re-formatting and re-installing OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 several times now, hoping that maybe one of them would allow the RAID formation to work as it should, yet none so far have proven successful..
If you have any time to look through and read this thread, I can't tell you how appreciative I'd be for your help and any advice possible that you can give me.. I do large amounts of audio processing, producing, along with many other taxing system processes, so I'd really like to get this RAID-0 configuration working as it should be..
Please do not waste your time by bashing RAID-0 or writing an unhelpful, opinionated comment that does not move this process forward.. I understand the risks of RAID-0, I run [b]daily backups[/b], as well as having an Apple Time Capsule running in full-force, all day long.. My data is well backed-up, and I understand the risks.
If anybody has dealt with this sort of issue before, please, give me any advice that you can.. I tried to put in the most effort possible with uploading and embedding all of these photos, as to not waste your time and to hopefully make this troubleshooting process as smooth as possible
Thank you all so much in advance! :apple:

Mac Pro slow write speed on Samsung SSD drive

Hi,
I am wondering why I get very slow write speeds on my Samsung SSD 840 Series 250 GB system startup drive in my Mac Pro (early 2008).
I get an average write speed of approx. 35 MB/s and not much more for top speed. I tested it by transfering a large file (8GB, .m4v) from my Mac Pro internal Raid 0 (4x 2TB Stripe Set) delivering up to 550 MB/s. The read speed of the SSD is around 270 MB/s which I consider to be OK for that I have just the 3 Gb/s internal SATA interfaces in my pretty outdated Mac Pro.
I don't see any Memory or CPU overruns or consuming system tasks while doing the tests and no other user programs except Activity Monitor is running. The following screen shots from the Activity Monitor should proove my findings:
Setup:
Samsung SSD 840 Series 250 GB (SATA 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s compatible) system startup drive. Free Space left on SSD is around 100GB of 250GB.
Mac Pro (early 2008, Model 3,1), 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 8 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB.
OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
Samsung sais there should be 540 MB/s for Seq. Read and 250 MB/s for Seq. Write for their SSD drive.
Any hints what could be done to increase especially that low write speed of around 35 MB/s (average) on the SSD in my Mac Pro?

Really great 'The hatter' !!!
Thanks a lot for your exceptional support.
Next to my 4x discs in the 4 SATA II drive bays I have installed a additional OWC drive kit that allows me to have another 2 disks sitting in the empty bay below the CD/DVD drive and those are connected to the motherboard. So there is a lot to handle for that controller you mentionned ;-)
I will follow your guidance and boot from my 'maintenance' system on direct attached external drive, install the TRIM Enabler there as well and do the DU repair run. I always have a separate system available that gives me the chance to boot my Mac from there. And in addition I regularly use ONYX to keep my OS X clean and do the maintenance.
Anyway, you're the man of the day!
PS; I am looking forward to finally receive my new Mac Pro (late 2013) ordered on the 18th of December one of these days and then I hope that I can fly ;-)

Time Machine backup to Drobo seems slow. What is normal write speed?

I just got a Drobo with Firewire 800. I'm using it exclusively for Time Machine backups. The write speed to the Drobo appears to be about 3 to 4 mb/s. Is that normal? Anyone getting the same or similar speed? I used to backup to a LaCie drive (which, of course, died) and it was way faster.

That's much too slow. Try the things in #D2 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
I don't understand with CCC is so fast comparing Time Machine initial backup. I hope incremental TM backup faster...
Some of the difference is that CCC is most likely doing a "block copy;" whatever's in each block on the internal is copied to the external; no checking, no indexing, etc. It assumes everything is in order.
Time Machine is making all the directory entries, hard links, etc., file by file, and indexing each file. Overall, it shouldn't take much longer than CCC (I use both), so one or more of the things in #D2 should greatly reduce the TM backup time.

DVD dual layer write speed?

Anybody know what the maximum write speed of the Superdrive is, for dual-layer DVDs?
I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro 15" and I want to buy some blank DL DVDs. I'm looking at Verabtim DVD+R DL blank media. They offer both 2.4X and 8X speeds. I've read that the 8X disks - which are more expensive, roughly 15 for the price of 20 of the slower disks - can be a problem for older drives that don't support that speed.
I already know that my Superdrive will write at 8X or more for a single-layer disk.

"Be sure to take full advantage of:
About this Mac > ( More Info ) > Disk Burning ..."
Yup, this showed me that my 8X (single layer) disk could in fact be burned at 8X, but without any DL disks for testing, ATM doesn't tell you anything about burning speeds.
Thanks for the confirmation that I do NOT want to buy the 8X disks. I've gone ahead and ordered the 2.4X Verbatim disks. I also saw some labeled as 2.4-6X, and I suppose those would work with my 4X drive.

Why is the write speed so slow to my NAS

Hi, I am trying to improve the write speed from my MBP to the NAS. I am using the Thunderbolt ethernet adapter connected to an Airport Extreme 7.6.1 using a wired connection. I have a Synology DS213 with a wired connection to the Airport Extreme as well. I am using CAT6 cables.
In testing my performance, I noticed writing files from my MBP to the NAS was very slow; whereas my read performance was much better. Please see the tests below to explain this further.
Using the Blackmagicdesign Disk Speed Test Utility using a 5Gb test file written to the NAS, I see the following:
Write speed is 7 to 8MB/s This write speed is what concerns me.
Read speed is between 60 MB/s and 75 MB/s
Using 2 finder windows (drag a file from one window(MBP) to the other(NAS)) and watch the disk activity on the Activity Monitor with a 1Gb file
When writing a file to the NAS from the MBP:
Write speed will burst to 19 to 23 MB/s but it will drop to below 10 MB/s at times.
When writing a file to the MBP from the NAS
Write speed is: 46 to 60 MB/s
Why would the write speed from my MBP to the NAS be so slow ; whereas, the write speed from the NAS to the MBP is very fast.
Synology has 2 WB 'green' disks configured as raid 1. I understand that part of the influence of writing from the NAS to the MBP is utilzing the advantage of writing to a SSD ; whereas, writing to the NAS it is writing to a slower drive.
Is 19 to 23 MB/s burst with dips below 10 MB/s during a copy typical? The other thing is I dont understand why the Disk Speed Utility never records write speeds to the NAS over 10 MB/s whereas the Activity Monitor will show the bursts at times of 19 to 23 MB/s
If 7 to 8 MB/s write speeds is too slow, what can I look at to improve this? Since writing the file in the other direction is pretty fast considering, how could the issue be a network one?

I was transferring my iPhoto library from an older MBP to a new retina and having the same issue - transfers almost immediately slowing to less than 100k/sec over my beautiful Time Warner-provided WiFi router using regular OSX folder sharing. I couldn't find any software updates as some other similar threads suggested.
I put my iPhoto library in a .tar.gz archive and that immediately transfered at about 7mb/sec, much much faster! So, without having diagnosed the issue, perhaps I've uncovered evidence that one or both of my machines doesn't like transferring big file trees. I bet a zip or any other archive would do the trick.

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.
