Thanks Ron, my burner is a Sony CDU926S and has only 1x and 2x. And I do burn slow either way. But I have suspected the manufacturing of these CDs are for faster burning but I simply don't know. What do they do to a surface to make it capable of various burn speeds but not others? Some are 2x to whatever, others are 4x to whatever, my TDK latest batch says just "multispeed compatible" Interested in your remarks about authoring extensions. What are these? In Quicktime you mean? Maybe I will turn all these off, I am sure I do not use them for anything I know, I have not got QT Pro yet... Yes, I will try to reinstall my Toast from my disk.
