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

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

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.

HT2493 I downloaded Maverick and when done noticed that the "BURN" icon for my cd/dvd burner is missing. Where did it go and how do I get it back?

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.
Wolfgang

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.

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.

Ian
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 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?

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:

What setting in Toast for creating a DVD-R master for replication?

I just Downloaded the new Toast 7 Titanium.
What setting should I use to burn a DVD-R to send in for replication?
Someone else said DVD-ROM UDF
There is also a "Make Video DVD from VIDEO_TS folder"
Which one?

Sorry peeps! haven't looked here for awhile... (been really really busy...)
Don't use either of those options unless you know what you're doing and you know what dvdsp is doing!
If the dvd-r is for replication then you should check region 7 to make the disc region all. It used to be checked by default but is not any longer...! Then when you format set the Output Device to Hard Drive and the Output Format to .img
Now in Toast you select Copy>Image File. Burn two copies at as slow a speed as possible. It's worth knowing, some say that writing at rated speeds is best but from the many many times I've seen recordable media issues it seems that writing slower solves the problem more than the other way around!
Doing that will mean that your disc remains Region All, unlike if you use a Build to the Hard Drive and burn with Toast. You can control the burn speed & you don't have to worry about removing the .LAY, .layout files etc.
Some versions of Toast are helpful, version 6.0.7 or later has options which will remove any files that shouldn't be in the VIDEO_TS directory for you, makes sure an empty AUDIO_TS folder is included etc but that doesn't help you much if DVDSP doesn't let you control the region flags with Builds to the Hard Drive. Using an .img solves all that.
If you use the Data>Advanced>DVD-ROM (UDF) option you should use DVDAfterEdit or MyDVDEdit to correct the regions settings. Then manually remove the .LAY, .layout, PAR folder etc that should not be in the VIDEO_TS folder.
If you use the Video>Advanced>DVD-Video from VIDEO_TS folder you still need to correct the regions setting but Toast removes all the other 'stuff' for you and adds the (empty) AUDIO_TS folder.
FWIW, when you Format & Burn direct to disc out of DVDSP it does as it's told. The .LAY, .layout etc files are removed (see the log) and the regions ALL setting is as you'd expect.

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.

What is actual speed for wrt54gl home networking ?

i am transferring large files from my main pc (wired) to my htpc (wireless) and transfer speed is around 6-7Mbps. is this the normal speed for the wrt54gl router? it seems a far cry from the advertised 54Mbps. i understand that i'll never achieve 54Mbps, but perhaps 20-30Mbps? router is set to G only, and on channel 6.
anything i can do to increase transfer rate?
router - linksys wrt43gl
modem - linksys cm100
os - win7
thanks

That's good to know that now you are getting 20-21 Mbps data transfer speed

What is the rationale for naming a DVD in upper case letters with no space?

I went "brain-dead" and named a DVD disk project (the name that appears on the computer desktop when the disk is inserted) using "regular" text, i.e., upper and lower case letters, with spaces between words. Could this result in any repercussions?
Everything works; the DVD plays fine on my mac & pc + DVD players. If something could go wrong, I'll change the name to all caps and use underscores instead of spaces.
Thanks for any input & advice.

Because the Sonic authorcore in Encore has some problems with spaces, I have developed a habit of using the underscore. Now, when it comes ot all Caps, I have not observed an issue.
Most recent Project had Caps and lowercase characters, and it played on all player that ai tested it on.
Even my Assets lack spaces, but again, this is out of habit from doing hundreds of En Projects, so maybe I am being overly cautious?
Good luck,
Hunt

What the best format for compression to DVD

I have a 18.91gb .mov file that I made of FCP and I want to compress it with out losing to mush quality, to be able to fit on to a DVD.
So my question is which of the compression settings should I pick to start of with.
Thanks
Message was edited by: Jon 2050

Compressor is doing a HD to SD conversion in addition to creating a MPG-2 file.
I have had video turn out wonderful using this work flow and other times I have not.
In worst case scenarios I have ended up doing the SD conversion in FC and then creating the MPG-2 from the SD FC export.
If you have problems or are not happy with the final compression you may want to do a test on a problem scene with the above work flow and see if you get better results. Whenever I have had compressor issues this has solved it.
