Hi, Finally got a 16-24x CDRW and Nero 55917 will NOT reconize it!
Roxio 5.3.1.154 SP4 DOES! Does any know of any new Nero update?

What model is that exactly? We have a new release of Nero coming in the next week or two, and it will have support for many new model recorders.

Hi, 52MAXX 2452AJ manufactured 11-02 with 6WS3 firmware.
Nero sees the drive! No problem with 10-12x CDRW they burn! Its just the 16-24x CDRW that will not! A window pops up that says Please Insert Correct CDRW Media

I've tested this in our lab, and could not find a problem.

If you do not place any media in the recorder till Nero asks you to, are you then able to select the Max write speed?

But once you insert the CDR media, the write speed drops down? If yes, then this is caused by the Recorder determining that the media does not support this write speed, and so forces a slower write speed.

Nero works with the drive MFG's closely, and they requested this feature so they can insure good quality writes. If other programs still allow the Full write speed, it's because they override the Recorders wishes, and this can cause poor or defective writes.

To resolve, you'll need to have the Recorder MFG upgrade it's firmware for support for this media at high-speeds, or obtain another brand of CDR media.
