2x dvd-rw media "DiDi" <Iam[ at ]Shangrila.net> 12/10/2008 6:25:37 PM can I write and play on 2x DVD-rw media with the newer drivers (4x etc.).

Re: 2x dvd-rw media "Curious" <mailmenot[ at ]nomail.com> 12/10/2008 7:39:01 PM No, it is the DVD manufacturing process that determines the maximum speed that can be used to create an error free recording. Writing at a higher speed would just result in creating an unreadable disk. "DiDi" <Iam[ at ]Shangrila.net> wrote in message news:OzMk4SvWJHA.4168[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...

Re: 2x dvd-rw media "DiDi" <Iam[ at ]Shangrila.net> 12/10/2008 10:32:16 PM I don't think I was clear. I bought 2x discs and wanted to know if I could write on them and play them with a faster player. So I assume from what you said the answer is "yes they will work". ? "Curious" <mailmenot[ at ]nomail.com> wrote in message news:uRZM27vWJHA.256[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...

Re: 2x dvd-rw media "Curious" <mailmenot[ at ]nomail.com> 12/10/2008 10:59:08 PM No, you cannot write on them with at a faster rate then 2X since they are not capable of being written error free at any speed faster then 2X. There is nothing to prevent you from trying to read them at a faster rate however, I don't know what that would accomplish since you certainly don't want to watch a movie at any speed except 1X.

Re: 2x dvd-rw media "James Hahn" <jhahn[ at ]yahoo.com> 12/10/2008 11:15:34 PM If the writer does not detect that those disks are 2x write speed maximum, then you will need to manually select the write speed as 2x (or less). Most writers allow you to select the write speed. "DiDi" <Iam[ at ]Shangrila.net> wrote in message news:OzMk4SvWJHA.4168[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...

Re: 2x dvd-rw media "DiDi" <Iam[ at ]Shangrila.net> 12/11/2008 12:32:16 AM Well while I was waiting for a reply, I took one of the 2X DVD-RW discs and copied a recorded TV program from my computer. I then played it on my DVD/VHS PLAYER/WRITER and was able to watch it without any apparent errors. Keep them?
