Re: G4 (DA) DVD R/W advice needed [Also, Disk Utility burn speed question]

[Stephen Jonke]

FYI, I decided to change to the tweaked 1.20 firmware for my Pioneer 
DVR-107D, that is tweaked only for 12x rip and region free (not 8x 
burning for all media). With this firmware I am still not able to burn 
Memorex 8x media at 8x (I believe I mentioned this issue before - it 
was true with the "official" firmware as well, although it was an older 
version, and is one of the reasons I decided to install tweaked 
firmware)! Disk Utility says 4x for the speed. As such I've gone back 
to the 1.18 tweaked including 8x burning on all media, just so I can 
burn 8x on my 8x Memorex media! Rather silly!

Speaking of burning, is it normal for Disk Utility to *not* allow me to 
change the burn speed when burning to DVD-R? The pop-up menu is always 
grayed out such that I can't select a lower speed even if I want to. 
I'm running OS X 10.3.6, with the associated version of Disk Utility.
