Unable to burn at 24x, anyone else?

[Ynought]

Everytime I try, i get an error. It works fine at 16 (or whatever the next fastest speed is) but never at 24.

really? i'm the only one this happens to?

Hardware/software info would be helpful. Drive model, OS version, disc types/brands, burning program, etc. And have you done anything to try to solve the problem yet, like trying different discs?


I have a similar problem myself. I can't burn CDs at 24x on my Mac Mini (combo drive). If I try, it'll work just fine, it just won't be fast. It really burns at 8x or 16x speed (I forget which). This happens with both Toast and Disk Utility. I've never found a solution. It can't be the discs, since they work at full speed in other drives. I have an external SuperDrive now, which works fine with all media. I'm fairly certain that this problem didn't exist before I upgraded to Tiger.

PowerBook G4 (combo? drive - no DVD writing); Tiger; using Burn Folders. It seems to happen with different brands of discs. It's really annoying though. I love my mac but I have to say that it's far from heaven.
