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.

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

NEED HELP - how do i lower the burn rate to 1x in DVD Studio Pro 4

Ok, i made a (2) master copies of a DVD-R (Verbatim) in Studio Pro 4 and sent it to a duplicator and I got a call saying there was unreadable data on the discs.
He then asked me to lower the burn rate to 1x. I can't figure out how to do that. Where do I do that? Please help. Have a deadline!!!
Thanks.

You cannot change the burning speed in DVDSP. It will always use the max speed available. To control the burning speed you need to create a disc image of your project and burn it with Disk Utility or Toast.
Read this tutorial about * Creating Disc Image in DVDSP *.
Hope that helps !

How do you reduce the burn speed on a pc???

I've been getting the dreaded 4310 error and discovered, through searching the discussions, that reducing the burn speed could solve the problem. However, I can't find anything on how to do that on a pc? I have a compaq nc6000 laptop.
I've had the problem only rarely before today but, for some reason, it is now happening on every cd I try to burn.
Thanx!

From the Edit menu select Preferences. Click the Advanced tab, then the Burning tab. You can set the burn speed there.

So how do you set the burn speed?

I'm having problems with home movies burned to good quality media (TDK -R). They appear to degrade and become unplayable within months. The discs are stored correctly and not misused or dirty - this is happening to numerous discs being used on numerous players (inc. the iMac they were originally burned on).
Having read through previous discussions, I'm trying to ensure I burn at the slowest speed possible to see if that helps, however I can't find anyway to specify a burn speed in iDVD. Preferences are set to "best quality".
Thanks if you can help (I have looked through these forums and "Help" before posting

Unless you are using a different burner that what came with your 17" iMac G4, I am not sure you need to worry about burn speed. It is already a slower burner. That said, you could create a disc image from with iDVD and then use the disk utility to burn the image to a DVD. Doing this will give you a dialog box allowing you to select a burn speed if a variable burn speed is supported.
I suspect the discs themselves. First, I hope you haven't attached a paper sticky label to these? That would be the sure fire problem. Next, it could be a bad batch or maybe your burner just doesn't like TDK? It happens. Verbatims are usually very Mac friendly.

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?

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.

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?

Calculate? Calculate for wirespeed/line-rate? If the latter, take all the port bandwidths, and assuming they are duplex, double for necessary fabric bandwidth. I.e. 48 gig ports would need a 96 Gbps fabric. Take all your port bandwidths, and allow 1.448 Mpps per gig (for minimum size Ethernet packets), i.e. 48 gig ports would need 69.5 Mpps. Once you have required fabric bandwidth and PPS, you can compare to vendor's specs.

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.

I recently videotaped a birthday party. I recorded "shout-outs" , however the DJ music is pumping in the background. How do I lower the music in the background editing with fce4?

Thank you

Basically, you can't. There are no adjustments or filters in FCE that could separate the music from the 'shout-outs' and enable you to lower the music and/or raise the voice.
You could attempt a workaround by using noise reduction with a plugin like WaveArts MR Noise but that may or may not work since music isn't a constant type of noise. However, you can download a fully-functional demo to test whether or not it would help.

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.

Eliminate a Wifi issue by connecting a Ethernet cable directly to your router or modem (power off/on)
If your still having beachball issues, what I suspect has occured (which a lot of people mistakenly do) is the hard drive got sectors damaged when the computer was moved/bumped while it was in operation.
The fix for this (and anything else) is rather drastic, all user data off the Macintosh HD will have to be removed, the entire partition Disk Utility > Erase with Secure Zero (or middle selection option), OS X reinstalled and updated, programs reinstalled and files returned.
If one has a previous uneffected bootable clone or TimeMachine backup that can be used to restore.

How can I test the throughput speed of the router?

How do I test the data speed of my Airport Extreme base? I want to test the functioning my airport extreme base. I experience frequent slowdowns and stoppages that don't occur when i access the cable modem directly.

To test data throughput of your AirPort (or any router) you would need to test both the WAN-to-LAN and LAN-to-WAN interfaces. A typical way to do this would be to use a utility like ixChariot.
For example, SmallNetBuilder has already done this with several different versions of the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). You may want to check them out to get an idea of what the AEBSn is capable of.
Another approach that is commonly used but not as accurate is to use "end-to-end" throughput testing utilities that are readable available from the Internet, like Speedtest.net.
Regardless of which technique you use, it is important to test throughput at each of your network segments to help pinpoint where the bottlenecks are. For example, if you do HD video streaming on your local network, you would want to test the throughput between the HD video source and the playback device.

How can I read the internet speed in a MAC?

How can I find the INTERNET SPEED in a MAC?

You typically use a free Internet Speed test. It does an upload and a download from a known site, bypassing certain configuration problems. Just do a search to find a dozen services eager to test with you (in exchange for the Ads on their pages).
Do not pay for this service, and DO NOT accept any CR@P they suggest you download to "fix" your speed. They cannot tell from outside whether you have problems, and none of the things you can download ever makes anything better.
If using Wi-Fi, one generally finds that the Wi-Fi part of the connection is the limiting factor.
