pioneer 104 1 speed write
 

can anyone help me, when i copy a dvd my writer will only burn at 1 speed, i am unable to change the speed,i am using nero 5.5.9.0

Same prob here.In the box it was shipped in in was a text saying that speed depends on the brand of the media.I'll guess we'll have to take that for an answer

DVD-R = 1SPEED
DVD+R= 2SPEED LOL

hmmm.If i aint wrong the a04 doesnt support +r

I have both a 103 and 104
The write speed depends on the media and the software.
If I use VOB or PrimoDVD software and TDK Media
I dont have any problems at 2x (DVD-R)
But you can only write at 1x using DVD-RW media.

Hope this helps :-)

Anyway what is DVD+R ????????????

You are correct in that the A04/104 does not support DVD+R....

The speed in which your burner will burn is entirely (almost) dependant on the media....

If you only have 1X capable media, that is as fast as it will burn..

Same is true with the NEW A05....
It is 4X capable, but unless you have 4X capable media, it will not burn at that speed....

DVD+R is a format that Sony, Phillips, HP, & Ricoh are trying to push.

The only problem with it, is that it is harder to read than the -R format. The DVD-R is much more compatible with older players. etc...

Do not mistake the 2... They are entirely different.... Unless you have the new Sony DVD burner that supports both, you cannot burn a DVD+R in a DVD-R drive....

Only being whitty about DVD+R ....:D

:D Sorry I misunderstood....:D

no prob :-)
