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. :rolleyes:
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

This is the first response I received :01: :01: :01: Woo hooo Thanks!!!!

This is a sarcastic thanks of course... and I am thinkin' it threw someone off... mainly me!!!! :ohmy: :D :shifty: ;)

I never asked about DVD. ;) :nuke: :1eye: ;)

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.

Why?
The Ahead page clearly states that changing the settings will merely show you the drive's supported speeds; it does nothing to the actual burn speed or the capabilities of the drive. Leaving it as it is will have no detrmiental effect and I doubt you'll even notice it.

my reply still holds for CDs - dont try to speed it up, it will not do much good: in fact, ive witnessed the opposite holding for DVDs...

Yeah... I understand Vivi... but I thoguht I would try and see if I could first of all burn faster and secondly see if they would hold up without errors.

And yes Smurfette, I realize this now... but thought it would actually give me a faster burn as well!!!

Well, whatcha expect for 5 bucks??!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Skiz]

It was worth five bucks no matter what. If I see 100 cdr's five that much, I'd have to at least give em a try. Who cares if they burn slow, ITS 100 DISCS FOR FIVE BUCKS!!!:P
