I was wondering if anyone could suggest a possible explanation as to why my DVD writer is only burning at a 2X when it is an 8X drive?
I have installed the drivers that came with it and updated the Firmware drivers but I am still unsure as to why this is happening. Does anyone have a possible solition?
Thanks,
James :)

Yes, dvd writers are very picky about the media. Nero info tool will help you out on this.
