Please help.
I have been burning movies to DVD-R (with thanks to your great instructions on this site!), but recently my Nero writing speed has altered.
I have been using the same DVD-R 4x discs I always buy, but this new batch of discs wont burn at 4x (taking 15mins), Nero 6 just gives me the option of writing at 1x (taking 55mins!). I have burnt the same files I always have (which have been properly encoded and etc etc) but not one of them works, they freeze after a couple of seconds and jump, when played in my stand alone DVD player. I know these files are ok, I have burnt them fine only a few days ago!
Is it my discs or something in Nero?
I have followed all your guides, word for word (brill, by the way), but can not alter the write speeds in Nero, or get one to play.
I asked the company I bought the discs from - they are stumped. I have never encountered this problem before
Any ideas? (please...)

1.Whats the brand & format of media you're using?
3. Have you id'd the media? With Nero info tools,you can check the media id.
2. Check your aspi layer.
Copy and paste these instructions to notepad and print them, since you'll have to reboot to complete the installation.
In advance, I aplogize if my instructions seem elementary, not all are pc savvy.
First click on the link above and download the file to the default location which will be the root of the local disk. Here is the path, depending on your drive letter, may be "c" or "d". If it is local disk d then replace the c with the d.
C:\adaptec\aspi or D:\adaptec\aspi
Now go to windows explorer, by right clicking the windows start button and left clicking explore.
Look for the adaptec folder
Double Click on the adaptec folder, and to the right, in the split window, you'll see the aspi folder, now double click it. Now you will see a multitude of files.
Look for the "aspiinst" icon and double click it. Follow the instructions.
DOnt worry that it doesn't mention anything about ASPI for WIN XP, its OK.. DONT WORRY it will work.. 4 SHO..
Once rebooted go back to the aspi folder and look for the "aspichk" icon, this is the ASPI check.
Here are the instructions to get to the folder
Double Click on the adaptec folder, you'll see the aspi folder, now double click it.
At the bottom in very light letters you will either see ASPI is installed and fully operational, which is what you want or ASPI error or ASPI is not functional or.. you get the point.
At any regard, you'll want the ASPI to be installed and fully operational.
GOOD LUCK & hope this helps..... 321sucker

Never used this before - never knew it exisited! It claims when no disc is inserted that my Lite-on can read and write at 40x, when I insert the disc it says it can read at 6x and write at 1x -- has this just answered my question? Is it the naff discs?

System ASPI is not installed. Nero ASPI is 'installed and working properly'
I guess I'll need to install ASPI!? I did read somewhere in the forums that if you dont have API installed on XP that its a good thing!?
ASPI must be installed.
Follow the my APSI instructions or you can switch to the Nero ASPI by using the drop down there.
I would recommend you update the ASPI.
Oh and if those disk will only write at 1x, they must be sub par disk or a bad batch. MEDIA IS very IMPORTANT.
