i have had this problem for a little while i am using nero oem suite 1
not sure what version it is it came with my mad dog
MegaSTOR 6-in-1 16X/8X Double Layer Internal DVD±R/±RW dvd burner.
and i uninstalled the software. my problem is that my dvd burner wont allow me
to write at a low speed currently the lowest i can choose is 8x for some reason
whether its cds or dvds. and i would like to backup my ps2 games.
when i click on the drop box to choose a speed ,4x and lower
are not showing and one time ago 4x and lower used to be there but i couldnt
choose the higher speeds and it all changed when i went on the mad dog site
to see if there was a way for me to get the higher speeds in, i didnt install
anything just went to look at the site and pressto the higher speeds where
in but now i cant get back to the lower ones. am not sure if its the software
or if it is the burner itself. i have tried other software but they just use
the same high settings i have tried it with burnatonce and alcohol 120%
still the same problem
am not really good at computers so with any advice can
i have a step by step idea on how to fix my problem.

yes they are 8x but u thought that i would have had the option to pick at what speed i would be able to burn at including if u wanted to burn them at a lower speed. at one time i had that option but it isnt there anymore to choose from 6x and lower in Nero or any other program. as i mentioned before i would like to back up my ps2 games and from what i understand if i burn them any higher than 4x it would just be a waste. am using fuji film DVD+R 8x. and when u say clued up on the dvd burner what other info do u need me to give u, i will try my best to get it and try to explain what i mean.

hi well i have been backing up ps2 games for some time and i have not had one coaster or any game freeze on me and i burn on sonydvd-r at 8x and also the odd burn at 12x just to see if i could and i burnt gt4 at 12x perfect like i say if you have good quality media and a good burner you should be ok at 8x just my opinion?

well i guess my question was goin to be if your ps2 could read your backup games burnt at 8x and 12x but you answered that, so i guess i will take a crack at it and let u know how it goes. i was just a bit scared to try it with my dvds because i have a limited supply and not alot of cash to get replacement dvds. and can u give me the site to the tutorial that you used to do your backups but am guessing it was from this site. thanks for the help and i will keep you posted on my progress, this will b my first time trying this, and by the way what version of Nero are you using.

some 8x disks do not have the option of burning slower, I got some that only burn at 8x or 1x. Check the media if it says 1-8x then you can burn at any speed but if it says 8x only then you don't have any other options.
