Does anyone know how to find out what write speed a dvd-r disc is. I just purchased a 100 white blanks that where supposed to be 8x. Toast will only default to 4x when i insert the disc to burn. The sticker says 8x but I think I got took. Son of a BiATch!

the burner can't see what speed to cd's are made for.. it's just a guide when it says 8x, 24x etc.
maybe you should check you drive settings

how do you check your drive settings.

You probably have a slow drive...the drive tells the CD writing software what it is capable of...

yeah, if the discs say 8x, they mean 8x. if your burning software only lets you go up to 4x, it almost certainly means you have a 4x drive.

I get the same thing once in a while. Same cd brand but the software tells me different speed.
I kick the computer. I kick it two sometimes three times. I never got the cd to perform any better by doing that. But I thought you should know.
