Banzai, PhD It only goes up to 24X though it should go up to 40X. I removed the old Patchburn file and reinstalled it but used some of the expert functions, allowing for it to write DVD-RW and CD-RAW (whatever that is). The result is much better (with writes up to 24 X) but it would be really nice to get it up to 40... Any ideas?
