Probably because the CD's should have been theoretically possible to cut at 40X but wasnt physically possible - who knows am not sure what cdrecord does to decide the write speed. I usually tend to be safe than sorry ;). > > I believe the physical limit of writing is 60X coming any close to > it > > cant be good for the CDWriting process I imagine ;). > > Why is there a limit at all? Because the CD is spinning while you are writing it and beyond 60X the media will be affected by the centrifugal force during the write process. I just read that somewhere dont know whether it is actually true anymore/ever. Mithun __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
