Current laptops and older desktop cd writers have a write speed limit of 24x and the current Moser Bayer 52x media do not write at that speed even in DVD writers. 32x works fine but drives with 24x limits are handicapped. Any solutions to this, any user experiences?
Afaik u can use low speed drives to write on high speed media.
I think what the OP was trying to ask: How does one get a 24X writer to write @ it's max. speed 24x given that media supports upto 52X write speeds.
speed is picked up by default automagically from the drive by the recording program. with cdrecord -speed=24 should record @ 24x. or specifying the CDR_SPEED=xx in /etc/default/cdrecord should achieve the same results.
The problem is that the latest media do not burn properly at 24x. After the process is over, the CD does not hold any data and shows as blank media when it is put in any drive for reading. 32x does fine but many lappys have 24x writers. My own desktop CD writer is 24x.
As an experiment, could you try burning the 52x Moser Bayer CD-R at 24x with some data?
