The reading speed of CD/DVD-RWs is very slow
Generally, the reading speed of a CD/DVD-RW is slower than that of a -ROM or -R. The reading speed can
also vary depending on the type of format.
Why does my DVD-RW drive not record at the highest speed?
You must use 16x CD-R or 8x CD-RW media or higher to achieve optimum performance.
If you want to use other media and are having difficulty formatting non-8x CD-RW discs, change the writing
speed from 8x to a lower setting.
To change the writing speed from the default to a lower speed, proceed as follows:
1
Go to
My Computer
from the
Start
menu.
2
Right-click the disc drive icon.
3
Select
Properties
.
4
Select the
Settings
tab.
5
Change the
Current Write Speed
field.
6
Click
OK
.
