Nero Hack

[musicmaster]

I have some 4x cdrs that I just bought for a really good price, $5 for 100 but they are obvious slow burning ones. I was wondering if there was a crack for Nero that can make the software burn these at the max rate of my burner.

I did a search on Google and came back with this:

I installed the reg patch and it does show my burner's max speed when there is no disc in the drive... but once I insert a disc in the drive it reverts back to either 2x or 4x. Any ideas on changing this speed or am I stuck with 4x max?

Also, if there is no way to change this.... how can I undo the changes made to my registry without doing a system restore?

Burning a 4.5GB dvd at 4x only takes about 15min.
Don't see why you want to speed up the thing for burning a cd-r.
And i doubt the burn will be a success when you burn faster than the disc can handle.

Forget it. That's what you get with 5¢ CD-Rs.

4x with cd-rs is slower than 4x with dvd-r.

takes like 20-30mins.

I have noticed that Dvd-r 4x burns faster than Cd-r 4x, wonder why?

Anyways the burning speed of a particular disc brand is governed by your burners firmware, not Nero

the single speed of a dvd is faster than that of a cd, 4x is relative speed...

...and you probably dont wanna speed it up, if the disks are crap then it burns slowly to avoid errors...

and there may be a hack for your burner if you look on http://forum.rpc1.org/portal.php

MMMMM hacked firmware I like it alot..but be careful..Do some research see if you can do a backup of your orginal before hand..have a look around here http://club.cdfreaks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=61for your particular drive and do some research...Don't just jump in with your eyes closed you may get burned no pun intended

Five bucks for 100 cdr's. Be glad they work at all.

This is the first response I received Woo hooo Thanks!!!!

This is a sarcastic thanks of course... and I am thinkin' it threw someone off... mainly me!!!!

I never asked about DVD.

I digress, I do agreee Skizo, they are (inexpensive) CD-Rs but still I think the reason that they are so (inexpensive) is because of the slow burn rate.

Now, if I was purchasing DVDRs then I surely would go for quality and not worry 'bout changing the speed on them. I would go with what they had.

Any suggestions about changing my reg settings back to what they were before I applied this patch? Again here is the information from another forum on the patch:

and here is the site they list for the actual patch I applied:

but, I dont see anything about reversing the change on the patch.
