Ok, been in computers for almost 26 years.
Had one of the first cd burners which I paid big money for.
Was out of burning for the longest time and jumped in last summer by buying a dvd burner , LiteOn SHM-165H6S.
I noticed that there are several media types available. I read a bit about it but noone can agree or really fully recognize the differences. Possibly a link describing the dif may help me.
I'm having BIG issues burning to dvds for data.
I burned too many coasters using Memorex dvd-r's so I purchased dvd-rw (maxells) in hopes that this would alleviate things.
If I get an issue or do things too quickly, my system fudges and I have to reboot otherwise it wont recognize my media.
I finally put a disk in that it likes, and for some reason only wants to burn at 2x. I REALLY hate burning disks other than for necessity but lately have been interested in burning movies and data more often.
Am I doing something wrong? Is my drive possibly bad?
I'm pretty tech savy with, well everything to some degree but when it comes to burners, I'm pretty clueless I suppose.
I'm using Nero's latest and greatest, I just updated the firmware on my burner, and it's taking me 30 mins to burn 3 gigs.
Any suggestions or leads as to where I can go to do some reading on burning different forms of data/video on different media types regarding this particuliar drive?
Btw - liteon's website is useless. They have I believe a t1 connection sharing over 1000 connections. VERY slow and often times out.
Thanks guys.
