					|  |  
					| my burner at home for some reason insists on trying to burn stuff too fast.  my plextor at work will burn most media at 2.4x and i have no problem with it.  my samsung burner at home though will default to 4x on most stuff and 9 times outta 10 it won't play in my 360.  i know the media tells imgburn what minimum speed it can be burned at but is there a way to force it to burn a disc at 2.4x or something?

					| It has an option for speed (under the device options, just before starting the write)

					| dude c'mon i'm not that clueless.  what i'm saying is i put a verbatim in my plextor here at work and it imgburn will say it can burn it at 2.4x and 4x.  i go home and put that same blank into my samsung and it shows the minimum speed as 4x, where as the plextor shows 2.4x.
 from what i have read it has something to do with the media telling your drives firmware what speeds it can be burned at.  something like that anyway.

					| This sounds like your Samsung just doesn't support slower writing speeds. If this is the case there's nothing you can do. Well almost nothing. Maybe there's a firmware hack or something.

					| Did you try a new firmware for the Samsung? Recently my Lite-On refused to burn any dvds, so I updated the firmware and everything works fine again.

					| The software will burn at any speed you like up to the maximum of the media. You should look for a Samsung update with preferably altered bitsettings for the media you use.
