Is there any way to speed up the set DVD write speed for a DVD Burner?
Basically, I upgraded my laptop dvd burner's firmware. I have a Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-845S that came built-in with my Toshiba Qosmio G25 laptop when I bought it. The drive started acting up, and giving bad burns, so I decided to look for a firmware upgrade. I found one, it was called D101. The firmware I had was D100. So applied the firmware and now my burner only writes at a max of 2X write speed for both DVD+/-R/RW when it used to be capable of writing up to 8X for both formats. Is there any way to fix this? I know I can't undo the firmware, so I thought a speed hack might work, but I don't know how.

Any help would be great because I really don't want to spend $100 on a new laptop drive. Thank You!!!

Well if you're already burning at 2x then you have nothing to lose. I went from 8x to 2x because of the firmware update.
