[QUOTE="N715DP, post: 202617"] Hello all, I have a 14" 1.42 iBook with the "SuperDrive". Here is what Apple's site says about it: Now, all of that being said... when trying to burn with an 8x DVD+R, I get nothing more than 2x in Toast (7.0.2 Titanium). The same thing using disk utility. Why can't I get full burning speed? Also, the drive is capable of burning DL discs (I have not tried yet), but I did find this site: [url]http://guides.macrumors.com/Superdrive[/url] - which states: With that information, what's going to happen when I try to burn a DL disc, I would guess that it won't work... is there a way to enable DL burning? I am running 10.4.6 with all updates applied, here are the further specs from System Profiler: Hardware Overview: Machine Name: iBook G4 Machine Model: PowerBook6,7 CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.5) Number Of CPUs: 1 CPU Speed: 1.42 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB Memory: 512 MB Bus Speed: 142 MHz Boot ROM Version: 4.9.3f0 Serial Number: 4H5360VLSE9 Sudden Motion Sensor: State: Enabled Version: 1.0 MAT****A DVD-R UJ-845E: Firmware Revision: DMP2 Interconnect: ATAPI Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported) Cache: 2048 KB Reads DVD: Yes CD-Write: -R, -RW DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO Media: No I did some digging back through this forum and didn't really see anything that would help me on this one.
