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?
