Check what speeds your burner supports. Make sure you have the lastest firmware update for your burner. What kind of media are you using? Why do you need to write at such a low speed? What are you trying to copy? You may have a corrupted source file. Is there any programs running in the background which may interfer with the write? When was the last time you ran Disc Cleanup and defragmented your HDD? Please, provide more information.

Please, tell us what brand and model computer you have. Such as, Hewlett Packard MEDIA CENTER M1090N with Windows XP PRO edition. Did you buy this computer new? Otherwise, someone may have changed/updated the optical drive/s. And the firmware update you try to install may be the wrong one. We can show you how to ID what optical drive/s are in your system. We can explain what firmware is later. But first, we need to know your equipment before proceeding.

To check your firmware version. Make sure you are connected to the Internet. Open ImgBurn> Tools> Drive> Check for Firmware Updates. A pop up window will tell you the firmware version you have.

Hello, ZoSoIV! This is true. Pretty sure both, DVD DECRYPTER and IMGBURN, are about the same exact programs? Only DVD Decrypter, is no longer supported or updated since 2002 or 2003? It's even getting harder to find download sites that still carry it. Since the OP is using IMGBURN, is why I suggested using this program. Thank you, for you comment.

yup pretty much the same program (has the same author) other than dvd decrpter has a ripper so you can rip an ISO file to you're HD and or use the program to backup a store bought dvd (older movies/older protection) or it works with help anydvd/ripit4me etc.

Now DVDFAB HD DECRYPTER has taken it's place. I'm using the paid version DVDFAB Platinum.
