I almost always burn at 6x, which has been slow enough for any other DVD device I've ever used. I have NEVER had this kind of problem before.
Someone wrote to me privately to say that DVD-R (as opposed to DVD+R) is better for readability. And I've read others who will fight to the death to say that DVD+R is much better. All I can say to this is - phooey - there are so many opinions and opinionated people, so many Mac partisans who will rationalize away almost any failing of their beloved machines. So many people who will fight to the death for their opinion, and so many other people willing to fight to the death for the opposite opinion. So much misinformation, ignorance, urban legends, repeating something some "expert" said while drunk at a party, etc., etc., ad nauseum. I throw up my hands. No way am I going to burn DVD's at 1x just to accomodate some outdated piece of equipment that the manufacturer - and Apple - can't be bothered to issue a firmware update to bring it at least into the 20th century. I'm used to seeing several firmware updates for any optical drive I've used before. Most of these updates are for the purpose of being able to read more brands of discs. If Apple and their suppliers are "above all that," then they're beneath all of us who are paying them good money for all this equipment. Macs and their OS's may be better than PC's and Windows, but they're not better enough, not enough to justify all the obnoxious cultishness, like Jehovah's Witnesses without the door-knocking. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
