Re: 16x DVD burning in PowerMac G4
From: Tina K. penguir...@gmail.com I'm going to top post on this one and ask the question: WHAT THE HECK? Tina *Awesome Pictues te: Wed,7 Ju2011 9:06:13 -0600* */Submarine Racing - Awesome Pictures”/** The 2009 World Submarine Racing Championships held from New London Connecticut to Hamilton Bermuda ** **Well, ...What did you expect to see They're submarines… I suspect someone included an an errand email/spam in the reply or perhaps its just plain spam. Usually I find this annoying but the fact that I have a partial view of the New London Harbor and indeed do see US Navy submarines going to to and from the submarine base on my side of the harbor made the spam interesting to me. The joke (not very funny) is you can't see submarine races from sea level. I suspect the military may do such exercises -- who knows? Submarine info is TOP SECRET. In my early life I worked in the shipyard that built many those Navy subs. And today the shipyard parking lot boarders my residence. Which made the post even more bizzaro.

16x DVD burning in PowerMac G4
I believe that I've asked about this before, but never did get the answer I was looking for… First off, system specs. 867Mhz G4 Quicksilver Running OS 9.2.2 only NO OSX!! I bought 16x dvd discs to burn some home movies. My Apple SuperDrive supported dvd burning but only, apparently, up to 8x and couldn't recognize 16x DVDs. I replaced the drive with an LG drive, but it didn't support apple software burning so I couldn't even open iDVD. My questions are: 1. Is the ATA bus too slow to writer 16x with the Apple SuperDrive? If so, are there any possible ways to get faster bus (I.E. 80 pin cables?) 2. Is the Apple SuperDrive not capable of burning 16x? 3. What respectable drive does support Apple Software burning(in OS 9 and 16x speed)? 4. If IDE is not fast enough for 16x burning, is there a SATA drive hooked up to a SATA PCI card that will still support Apple Software burning? Thanks for your time! P.S. please people, don't stray from the topic or hijack the thread.

Bah, that limits things greatly. I bought 16x dvd discs to burn some home movies. My Apple SuperDrive supported dvd burning but only, apparently, up to 8x and couldn't recognize 16x DVDs. I replaced the drive with an LG drive, but it didn't support apple software burning so I couldn't even open iDVD. My questions are: 1. Is the ATA bus too slow to writer 16x with the Apple SuperDrive? If so, are there any possible ways to get faster bus (I.E. 80 pin cables?) No, the drive is the limitation on this issue, althoug it should support burning at the lower speed on the higher-speed disks. The rating of the disk is the maximum supported speed; they should also work at all lower speeds on down to 1x. Are oyu positive they're the right flavor of disk (ie: DVD-R, not DVD+R ?) 2. Is the Apple SuperDrive not capable of burning 16x? NO it's not. IIRC, (and you should be able to check this on Apple's stats database) these were a 4X burner. 3. What respectable drive does support Apple Software burning(in OS 9 and 16x speed)? MOre than likely none...16X drives postdate OS 9, I believe. 4. If IDE is not fast enough for 16x burning, is there a SATA drive hooked up to a SATA PCI card that will still support Apple Software burning? No, because there is no SATA support for OS 9. The answer to ALL of your problems is simple: Update to OS X 10.4 or 10.5. Under OS X the new drive WILL be recognized, if not natively then through PatchBurn. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

You answered my questions! -- -Tanner M G'day A lot of current discs state an 8x or 16x rating, but EVERY one can be burnt at a lower rate; in fact if your'e having reliability problems, it actually can help to burn at a lower speed. The main factor in faulty disc burning is the manufacturer. I personally use Verbatim DVD-R's, and have burnt a stack of 100 discs without a single fail, using a superdrive on an intel iMac. Google 'what is the best DVD-R brand' for lots of useful information.
