As a computer user many of you must have burnt a CD or a DVD. It looks simple but it is not so. Our computer or DVD R/W to be exact has to do a lot of work for a CD burning. It handles the high temperature of the disk. If the burning process is not carried out correctly we can have our DVD or even out DVD R/W damaged. And in some cases it may result to system failure. So we should do the burning process at a lower speed for better result.

I always check the CD/DVD burning speed before I burn it. As I noticed, when you burn the CD/DVD at Maximum speed, the life span of the CD/DVD will not last or I mean it will damage at a short span of time. Still, we should buy a good quality cd.

yeah, i do it all the time, i check first the speed of burning. one day it happened to me, where my CD really got burnt down and being smashed int pieces inside the writer, i did not check the speed is on full and high. usually, i set up the speed two times or 1/3 times the normal writing speed of the cd, like in 32x or 40x. :D
