Burning read writables

Burning read writables

[Paul Migliorelli (+1 3 0 3 5 4 3 2 3 1 1)]

Hi all.  For the first time I'm using read writables to burn some audio.  
I specify the dash speed equals 12 in cdrecord, but it seems to always 
default to a speed of 4.  Is this normal for read writables?  Is there a 
way to make it go to 12 like with regular cds?

Hi
Actually, this is writer-specific. Many writers can't burn cdrw as fast as cdr disks. I think, but am not positive, that this has something to do with the way in which 
the disks are made. The method for writing to an RW is different than the one used to write to a regular recordable. I've got a 52x writer here, but it can only 
burn an RW at 24x. There's nothing you can do about this, it's just the way cd burners work.

Hi.  Your RW's are recording at a speed of 4 because the CD's you bought can only be recorded at 4x.  You will need to 
buy 12X CDRW's in order to be able to burn them at 12x.  The package will tell you the maximum recording speed.
