Hi, I use 'Nero Burning ROM7' to back up my DVD movies (first using DVDShrink to make them ISO).
What speed should I burn at? I use 8x DVD-R's but I was told to burn slow on 4x.
Does this really make any difference or have I been told wrong?

THe usual rule of thumb is burn 1/2 rated speed, but no faster than 8x. The slower the burning process, usually the better the copy. It also depends on what type of media you are using. I usually use 16x+r media, and burn no faster than 8x.

The advice that rtm27 gave you is spot on. Please use it.
Also good media accounts for success. I use Taiyo Yudens or Sony

If you want a good steak, it's not just how you cook it; you have to buy good meat.
Use quality media for quality burns.
Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, and Sony are the way to go.

I have been using Datawrite (Yellow) 8x DVD-R and after 400 burns I have never had a coaster!
I originally asked this question because burning on 4x speed takes forever and I would have liked to speed the process up.
I have burnt a test movie on 8x and the film played. . . But are you saying the 8x movie quality is reduced???
Thanks for all the help

Generally speaking, burning at half the rated speed of a disc is recommended. The faster you work the laser the more opportunity for an error writing the information.
If you want to speed the process up; get some 16x media; the good stuff mind you, and burn at 8x.
Of course you can't forget the burner (and firmware) as an important part of the process. In other words; if your burner only has a write speed of 8x...you may be better off quality wise where you are.
At 4x what does it take...15 minutes to burn? What's the rush as long as you're getting quality burns?

As 7thsinger duly and correctly noted :
4x burns 4400 Mb at 15 minutes
8x burns the same at about 11-12 minutes
So no real rush for a quality burn
The BPI Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, EMI.
The RIAA Soundexchange Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, EMI.
The IFPI Are: The same anti consumer lot as listed above!
The MPAA Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, DISNEY, PARAMOUNT, FOX.

Oi!!! I hear you 2!!! :P And your right... hehehe. :D
atomick....
You can burn at whatever speed you want to.... Be sure to use good media (rtm and 7th have sorta covered that) and a good ODD (optical disc drive) and you can't go wrong. :) I burn at 16x, 18x, and 20x but I wouldn't recommend you do that... especially if you don't have a clue as to what you're doing and also taking into consideration if you're gonna get a coaster or not. ROFL....
NOW if I'm burning something that I'm NOT giving away or a test then it's either 8x or 12x depending on the media. :)
btw burning at 20x takes less than 5 minutes and it's dang cool when the disc will allow it and the scan comes out nicely. :)
NOW TO FOLLOW up with what these guys have told you... VERY solid advice and I would adhere to it!!!
OK.. where's the steak you teasers have been talking about?? :D
..gm
anyone confused yet??? heheehehe. :P

I'll take a 20 oz ribeye, medium.
Ok, back on topic, I have burnt a few thousand dvd's and have had more than my fair share of coasters. I had gotten more coasters burning at 16x (12% failure) than 8x (well under 1%).

The "red highlighted" portion is why I LOVE YOU!!! A manly type love that is.. hehehe. :P
Yes rtm 8x is much better and reliable when burning discs and therefore why I added this:

I honestly wouldn't suggest someone to burn higher than 12x or even 8x NOT knowing their system and it's abilities. :) I do it for fun and to take my ODD's to their limits. :D Like I said:

I'm serious on that. If I intend to KEEP it, NO going over 12x for the gm. ;)
I guess we could get into DL media too. lol. :P I use some of those but NEVER go over 4x when burning.. It's to DANG expensive to smoke one. ROFL..... :P

I can't eat 12-14 lbs of brisket in one sitting.....not even if I'm sitting on the toilet. Haven't had good brisket in a few weeks.
I used my nti cd&dvd maker to copy a burnt movie I had...burned it at 20x. It came out fine.

That's what I'm talking about!!! :D
NOT that I would advocate such speeds but if you hold your mouth just right you can get those 20x burns to turn out. :)
rtm do you have the quality scan and did it actually reach 19x+? How long did it take assuming it was over 4400mb? :)

I usually try and stay around 4-6x when burning my TY. Not that I don't think they would handle more but my ancient computer just won't do it. Even on max speed around 8x is the best before the buffer protection kicks in to slow things down.
I have enclosed picture of said computer in the hopes of you guys forming a pitty party where we could all help rtm with his brisket problem :)

It was 4464mb. it took about 5 minutes, after it did its disk verification, which added about 20-30 seconds.

Let's keep the food references & any other off-topic stuff out of here please folks.
I used to be a 4x advocate, but for the longest time it's been 8x on all 8x and 16x media, whether using internal or external burners, a mix of both, and whichever mix of media i'm using ie with multiple recorder burns.
