Hello, I am using a Memorex 16X external model 3202-3286 on a IBM laptop A20P running 2K. I can shrink and DVD Decrypter. I use a write speed of 4X. Decrypter will not write to Ridata -R 16X media giving an error message I/O error : Cannot Write Medium - Incompatible Format. How to correct this, Please? Next problem is if I use Memorex +R 4X media, the write speed is only 0.5X. This takes 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 hours to complete. How can I speed this up? Thank you very much. LNM
Hello. First make sure your burner is in DMA transfer mode. http://webpages.charter.net/bacitup/TheGuides/checking DMA.pdf http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 Next make sure your burner's firmware is up to date: http://www.memorex.com/html/download_software_now.php?CID=11&PID=872 http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?category=4&manufactor=20 If it's an older drive it may be a Lite-on 1633 underneath. Memorex media is almost always very poor in quality. Good media is made by Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, and Made in Japan labeled Sony and Fuji. Edit: text added below. Does the laptop have USB2 ports or USB1 ports? A quick search did not ptovide an answer. You need USB2 ports.
