    Bat

    Now then Owen Mr Google Cash, what would be the best speed for burning a downloaded movie? LEGALLY of course before old sausage fingers or the flappy blue bat murderer starts. :wink: :wink: :wink:
    I burn my music on the lowest speed, 1x.

    Can anyone tell me which burning programme is best – I tried Nero 6 reloaded and it messed up my computer, I then wiped my computer and tried Roxio creator suite 8 which worked for a week then went belly up, upon trying to reinstall it kept asking for a disc which by the way was already in the drive. I returned the programme to Amazon who replaced it, and I am going to try again, but if it fails again they suggest Nero 7.5 – I am wary after last attempt with Nero.

    Advice would be gratefully received, I need to burn cds, and dvds from various formats such as avi, mpeg, div x.

    It’s all about trial and error really. The faster you try to burn a CD or DVD, the more chance there is of making a poor quality copy.

    If time is not a issue for you, burn at the slowest speed. If you want to burn faster you just have to increase the burn speed. If the quality is OK at a faster burn speed, stay with it. :wink:

    As you’ve had problems with two different brands of software, I’m inclined to think your pc is the cause of the problem.

    Do you regularly clear unnecessary files from your pc and defragment your hard drive?

    Yes I do and my computer has just been rebuilt so its only about 4 months old, but i clean on a regular basis.

    The main subject is the quality of the media used, I burn at either 8x or 16x using Ridisc GO5 coating,

    Make sure the disks are designed for video reproduction and not data.
