Hello Everyone,
Current laptops and older desktop cd writers have a write speed limit of 24x and the current Moser Bayer 52x media do not write at that speed even in DVD writers. 32x works fine but drives with 24x limits are handicapped. Any solutions to this, any user experiences?
Afaik u can use low speed drives to write on high speed media.
I think what the OP was trying to ask: How does one get a 24X writer to write @ it's max. speed 24x given that media supports upto 52X write speeds.

speed is picked up by default automagically from the drive by the recording program. with cdrecord -speed=24 should record @ 24x. or specifying the CDR_SPEED=xx in /etc/default/cdrecord should achieve the same results.

The problem is that the latest media do not burn properly at 24x. After the process is over, the CD does not hold any data and shows as blank media when it is put in any drive for reading. 32x does fine but many lappys have 24x writers. My own desktop CD writer is 24x.
As an experiment, could you try burning the 52x Moser Bayer CD-R at 24x with some data?

Been there, done that, no problems. Maybe the writer you are using is busted.

Yes its busted! Burned the KDE 8.04 iso on the DVD writer at 24x and it was a success with actual trial of the CD. Later burned the finnix iso on my 24x CD writer at full speed and everything went fine with no errors. Only problem is that the recorded CD loads as blank media in both drives.

When i encountered that kind of problem once, i figured later that the media was faulty. The entire pack of ten discs was faulty!
It worked fine with another batch of CDs. The writer's live and kicking till now, since 3 yrs. Hope that might help. :)

This is very much possible. Maybe I should explore brands other than Moser Bayer. I use the ones with Red / Black printing.
