Plextor PX-708A Burns DVD+R at a 2.4X Max

Postby Sujay on Wed Nov 05, 2003 12:47 am

Hi guys. I was hoping for some help here. I am using a PX-708A drive with Nero 6.0.0.19 and XP. When trying to burn a DVD+R using Matrix or Memorex DVDs I find that on the burn screen my speed dialog box is greyed out with 2.4 selected. I ran Nero's dynamic write speed patch, and then burned a disc at 8X. However subsequent trials resulted in the same 2.4X speed. I tried reapplying the registrey patch, and ugraded the drives firmware to 1.03. This occurs if I insert the media both before and after. I'm very lost. Any thoughts you guys have would be very appreciated. By the way, that sole 8X DVD I burned plays flawlessly in my standalone player.

The media you're using is probably rated at only 2.4x.

sorry about the repeat post. The request to submit timed out, and i wasnt sure if it went through. The media, however, is not rated at 2.4X. The Memorex media is 4X, and the Matrix media is 4X. Also, this problem occurs even before I insert a disc.

Nero will display only 2.4x as a write speed if no disk is inserted. Although, You may have a lemon, try exchanging it.
