Max burning speed for iMac drive?

Internal SuperDrive is MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-875
Should I burn at 8x or 16x?

Hi
In iDVD up to version 6 You can't set burn speed.
In iDVD08 and 09 - You can
If You use Roxio Toast™ - You can
Apple Disk Util tool - You can set here too
If You don't select iDVD sets speed acordingly to DVD disk eg x16
As faster - as many write errors
I use x1 when able to select
On older iDVD I use DVD x2 disks.
I would
• Use iDVD to do a DiskImage
• Use Disk Util tool or Toast™ to make the burn at x1 speed
Using iDVD 4 - then You need a Hack to make it able to do the DiskImage

  • What Max burn speed for DVD or DVD-DL?

    Hello,
    How can I find out what recording speed DVD, DVD-DL or even plain CD's should I buy for my Macbook? .. Mid 2007 model, 2G's ram, Super-Drive.
    I just don't want to go get 8x speed if the system is not going to be able to take advantage of it.
    TIA

  • Burning speed for Blue Ray Disks (Elements 11)

    Hi,
    is it possible to reduce the burning speed for Blue Ray Disks ? (and how)
    I believe that Elements 11 always use the maximal possible buring speed of the inserted medium.
    Background: my BD player (Bang & Olufson TV with integrated BD player) is able to read/play a maxell BD-RE 25GB (1-2x) i burned. Unfortunately I can not play a burned Verbatim BD-R 25GB (6x) - only sometimes he play parts of it. Both mediums i burned with the same content, from the same file ( xxx.prel) and with the same parameters.
    Thanks for informations and your answer.

    This is not a feature of Premiere Elements.
    To get this feature, you'll need to use a third-party program, like the excellent DVD Architect Studio, a $39 download from Sony Creative Software.

  • Max write speed for CD-RWs with HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GH41N drive?

    hey all,
    I've had a look online, but I can't find the answer.
    Does anyone know where I can find the max write speed using CD-RWs, with the HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GH41N CD/DVD drive that's in my Mac Pro?
    Looking into getting some faster CD-RWs (10-16x), want to make sure my Mac Pro's drive can actually burn them at this speed first.
    cheers
    Sam

    apparently, it can burn up to 32x speed for CD and CD-RW discs:

  • Burn Speed for DVD mastering - fast or slow

    Please help! I am getting conflicting advice regarding the best speed to burn a DVD Video (in DVDSP, iDVD, Disk Utility etc) that will be used as a duplication master. I have read online that you should avoid slowing down the burn too much (I think because the disc dyes etc are 'optimised' for faster speeds) and that you will run into problems if you burn an 8x disc at 1 or 2x. However, a technician assures me that you should slow the burn right down and that professional duplicators and production houses never burn a DVD at its rated speed! Who is correct? Any help or links appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I have read online that you should avoid slowing down the burn too much (I think because the disc dyes etc are 'optimised' for faster speeds) and that you will run into problems if you burn an 8x disc at 1 or 2x.
    The general advice around here is burning at slow speeds to avoid playback problems. DVDSP will allways burn at max speed and that's one of the reasons for NOT using that burning workflow. I allways create a disc image of my project and burn it with Toast and/or Disk Utility, where you can select the burn speed.
    After all, you can ask to your duplicator what they prefer.
    Hope that helps !

  • Burn speed for iPhoto...?

    Greetings,
    A friend of mine had a Mac Pro 2x 2.66 Dual Xeon, 2 GB, running Mac OS X 10.4.11. He encountered a problem burning a DVD-R from iPhoto '08. He got a media error with a Sony DVD-R disc. He says he hasn't had any problems with his dual Pioneer DVR-111D drives (firmware AB09) and this media.
    Is there any way to change the write speed for iPhoto '08?
    TIA

    Did he try another Sony disk? It might be just one disk.
    Happy Holidays
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Burn Speeds for DVD 1x

    I am using toast 7 to Burn an image file of a master copy DVD. However, I am only able to burn at 4x speed, and am getting hiccups in playback. How can I burn at 1x speed? Is this a hardware or software issue (if I upgrade to toast 10 will this fix?) Of course I have a job due and need a fast answer. Any help is great!
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Toast should allow you to force a burn at 1x - check the burn speed option in the program. I don't remember, however, which versions this is available in. As I recall, the speeds the media can officially support are shown in bold, and the unsupported speeds are shown in italics. 4X is generally the minimum official speed of current media.
    Do the hiccups appear at regular intervals, or do they only appear in certain areas of the movie?
    If the hiccups are at regular intervals, this would sound to me like a disc problem. What brand of media are you using? There's a lot of junk media out there that could cause what you're seeing.
    If the hiccups only appear at certain places in the movie, it sounds like the bitrate of the movie to too high for your player to handle. A lot of older players (and some newer ones) don't do very well when playing from recordable media, especially if the bitrate is over 6-6.5 Mbps. Speaking of that, what format is your audio in?
    What software was used to author the disc?

  • Is there an external cd/dvd burner-player for iMac

    is there an external cd/dvd burner-player for my imac?

    You can simply google for that; I'm sure there'll be plenty - just make sure it specifically states that it is compatible with Mac and the OS version you are running. I've had a LaCie for a number of years; it is self powered with FW port (they no longer make this one unfortunately); here is their non-Bluray option they have now:

    (Personally, I prefer self powered instead of bus powered). They also sell Bluray burners.

  • Recommended Burning Speed for CDs and DVDs??

    I am burning some recordings I have to a CD. What is the best speed to select when burning CD's for best sound and voice quality? How about DVD's also? The default preferred speed in Mac OSX is Maximum Possible. The other options are 1x, 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x, 20x, 24x.

    For burning audio CDs, I suggest 4x at the max. Using a too-high speed will often cause a static or "whooshing" sound on playback.

  • T400S full SSD speed for secondary drives (eSATA, ultrabay, dock)?

    Does the T400s delivier the full speed of SSDs (SATA-II 3 Gbps, ex: 220MB/Sec seq transfer of the X25-M) when the SSD is used
    - in ultrabay
    - on eSATA port
    - on eSATA port of the Mini Dock (Plus Series 3)
    The T400 seems to deliver the full speed of SSDs when used as primary drive:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=T400_series_ThinkPads&message.id=12616

    Many thanks for your responses.  In the meantime I have purchased Vertex 2 Sata II drive and the installation has gone perfectly.  This new drive is giving me a far better experience - first noticed in the speed of installing my software: Office, VS2010, SQL 2008R2 etc.  Blindingly fast!
    As for alignment - the previous installation was checked and was aligned.  In fact I have read that Win 7 will automatically align when installed to an SSD.
    My hope is that this newer version of SSD with the Sandforce controller will not degrade as the original one did.  The difference in performance from new to 18 months of use was quite significant!
    Cheers and thanks again,

  • Transfer speeds for internal drive/FireWire

    I have a 2 yr old PowerMac G5 with a single 160 Gb hard drive, so I have an internal drive bay available that has a 150 MBps SATA controler. Does that mean I won't get the expected speed from one of the big Seagate or Maxtor internal SATA drives with 1.5 or 3 Gbps transfer capacity?
    If that's true, would I get faster transfers using an external drive via FireWire 800?
    Thanks!

    The maximum transfer speed of the 1.5 Gbps is actually about 1.2 Gbps (80% efficiency), or 150 MBps. So, in theory the 3 Gbps interface would be about twice as fast.
    However, no single drive can achieve throughput at even the 1.2 Gbps level, so you're really not missing anything if you put in a drive with a 3 Gbps interface on it.
    FW800 is 800 Mbps or 100 MBps at 100% efficiency. Real world transfer speeds would be in the 80MBps range at best. That's also a pretty tough speed to reach for a single drive. My 10,000 rpm 150GB Raptor drive can benchmark at or above that level, but many drives won't be able to.

  • Compatible Disc Burning Device for iMac (DV)

    I have an iMac (DV) with 512MB SDRAM and 400MHZ Power PC G3 Processor. I am running OS X (10.4.3). Can anyone recommend a compatible disc burning device?

    Hello There, I have an old indigo iMac (the same specs as yours) I bought it secondhand a few years ago and it came with an USB iomega zipCD 650 burner which works perfectly with OS 9 and OS X. I have recently bought a firewire Pikaone DVD +/-RW which was just plug and play (no hassle) - as you need a firewire device to enable you to actually boot from an external CD/DVD player. Hope this helps, I'm sure there are lots of devices out there that are suitable but I can't afford new swish equipment and just but secondhand from eBay, so far I've been very lucky.

  • Max CPU Speed for MS 6131 Ver:2

    I have a computer that I'd like to upgrade (slightly) with a faster CPU...  I currently have a 550mhz PIII and want to know if I have room to put a faster PIII or Celleron or whatever in without getting a new motherboard.
    The manual shows it has support for 233mhz and faster.  Chipset is Intel 82440BX AGP.  66.6MHZ and 100MHZ sclocks are supported.
    BIOs is award 4.51
    If it matters, The current CPU is the old large brick (I Believe Slot 1).  I don't know if that means coppermine or whatever (pardon my ignorance).
    Plz advise!  Thanks in advance for your help
    Thanks,
    Mark

    I spoke with MSI and the fastest CPU officially supported is the 600MHz Katamai PIII.
    If you flash the bios to a version that supports coppermine you should be able to get a celeron to run using a slocket card converter by setting the vcore manually to 1.80v but it could fail or even cause damage.
