1) i have a 16x burner and 8x dvds... should i burn at 4x or 8x?
2) ive been burning at 8x for 3 years now.. and everything is usually fine (90% of the time), but recently ive tried burning new games such as Kingdom Hearts 2, and Onimusha 4 but hte games get rly rly skippy and sometimes just freeze... so i tried burning at 4x and the same problem occurs.. i know my media is right because ive backedup about 60 games so far and they all work fine (its maxelle RO3) can someone tell me why these games are giving me trbl?? O btw i use Swapmagic 3.6 and i havent run into any trouble playing a game with it.
3) can burning at 4x actually be bad for the game? can burning at low speeds be bad?

Lots of people have had problems with 16x media. You should try getting 8x or even 4x discs.

Not sure if you mean you can burn at 16x on 8x discs.. if that is what you mean, then it's not possible..

then you're a tard. benq drives can overspeed media. they can do most 8x media at 16x safely. i use 12x on my 8x media and they work perfectly

I had no idea that Benq drives could indeed overspeed discs. Apologies, no need for insults and comments, there Liquidus.

BenQ drives are capable of overspeed. If you don't have a BenQ drive, how would you know that? Just because you can burn at 12x or 8x doesn't mean you should. Burning at twice the rated speed is not the way to go. Burn at half, or at most the full rated speed of the disc.

Tokijin the last time i asked you, u told me to burn at 4x.. ever since ive started burning at 4x my dvds stopped working properly... so what should i do (and when u say burn at 1/2x do u mean burn at 1/2 the disk or the burner it self?)

It means to Burn of half the speed of the disc not the writer for example 8x burn it at 4x or even slower for good mesure
try using HIGH QUALITY MEDA......TY, Verbatim, Sony etc....
make sure all your settings are suitible for burning games
use DVD+R and booktype it to DVD ROM with DVD DECYPTER for best compatibility
if you using swapmagic alot of recent games are having alot of compatability issues with swap magic ur best bet is a mod chip
if all else doesnt work for you then its about time for a new burner

hmm no the games work with swap magic and they run perfectly.. its just when u get to a certain part of the game or when a movie plays the game starts to act up or freezes... so if the game runs fine off swapmagic.. it cant be the system im getting the game to start with.. i know the media is not the best, but its second to best and ive used it many times (70 games)and they work fine.. its just these 4 games (metal gear solid subsistense, suikoden 5, Kingdom Hearts 2, and Onimusha 4) that are giving me trouble...
o and i was wondering if i run a game or a program then i burn the game right after i play could that cause a problem, or for example i burn the game right after i extract the winrar files... (my comp is intel pent 4 , 2gig processor, 256 RD ram so its a bit slow..)

It doesen't matter how many games might run off bad media, it can only be the one time and it may not work - Do not use cheap media!
Look at the - Games stuttering and skippinrg or not booting up at all? Link.

I have to agree with Mik3h. If you're using RitekG03, then be prepared for some boot failures, lags, skips, or freezes. Burning at half the rated speed of the discs should produce near flawless results on high quality Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim media. You may need to burn slightly faster or slower, depending on your setup.

I've never used the overspeed feature with my BenQ, so I can't really comment on that from first hand experience. I can only say that what works on your setup, may not work for everybody.

i'm not saying to burn at 12x i'm saying that most info some info is outdated. benq drives like 16x media at 12x better than 8x. i have 3 burners that say that

For me personally, I've been getting better results when I burn games at max (8X) instead of the usual half that everyone recommends. I think the recommendation to burn at half is just to be on the safe side, it's not set in stone. Also, I've noticed that dreaded other "circle" on the write side is gone, now it's just a solid purple color. There's no difference in gameplay either and less "laser noise".

The reccomendation, is due to the fact you have a higher chance of the game skipping and freezing especially with the FMV sequences if you burn at max speed.

Like Tokijin said, whatever works for you might not work for everybody.
If you can burn at max and have flawless copies why not do it. I haven't experienced any freezing, skipping or any other problems at all. I only use genuine TYs also.
