Full Version: DVD burning speed
Do dvd burning speed affect the file quality? If so, what the appropriate speed to burn a dvd?
no
burning speed does not effect the quality
it all depends on the video quality
burning speed does not effect the quality
it all depends on the video quality
It does affect the amount of cluster writing errors if it's written at high speed. 1x speed is the safest. This is according to Bill Gates btw... something like that was his comment, if I remembered correctly.
Last time when CD burners are introduce I like to burn my Cds in full speed. But I found out that the data are somehow unreadable in some readers. So after that, I always burn my data a speed lower than the max speed available.

Since when?
My goodness, the things people get away with on Lowyat.net these days.
It all depends on the drive, the firmware and type of media used. Making sweeping statements like "burning speed does not effect the quality" ignores all the variables. With video (aka DVD-video) speed is not too much of a issue, as people are not likely to miss a dropped frame or 2. But with data (oxymoron it may be, since video is data anyway), it does affect the integrity of the data. Sometimes it is good to do a verification check after you burn any form of media.
And saying things like "1x speed is the safest" is like saying "you'll never get into accidents if you drive at 10km/h, plus you'll save heaps of fuel". It is true (to an extent), but you'll be in for a long wait, and if slow is safe, why bother making 3GHZ quad cores when they keep miscalculating? (Yes, I'm looking at you AMD!)

The information I provided are from professional I read on the internet not my own opinion since I'm not a computer engineer, I know nothing. But if you want to portray that you're smarter/know more than computer engineers ppl like Bill Gates, then go ahead.

Since it is on the internet, provide me with the link and the source. For I have failed to find any instance of Bill Gates saying anything about burning speed for optical media.
And if you say you know nothing, are you in any position to give advice?
