Latest batch from cd-recordables burning @2x

Latest batch from cd-recordables burning @2x 

I've aalways had good luck with cd-recordables media but it would only burn @1x until this new batch I just got. Previoulsy Prassi would indicate 2x but would take about an hour to burn. So...Updated the Prassi engine and this new batch burns @2x. takes less than 30 minutes. Not sure if it was the engine update or cd-recordables has done something to the media to make the Pioneer drive thinks it's verified for 2x. Sent cd-recordables an e-mail asking them if they changed anything but no response yet. I can't be the only one getting lucky here. Anyone else verify this?

How did you update Prassi, or where did you get the update? thanks....

I got the same results except i never updated prassi... Been getting cd recordables for a while now...

Sepen, You can get the update here:

Cool. Just got my third shipment from cd-recordables today -- I'll be really pleased to find they work at 2x!!

jdobbs, do a test burn! tell us how it works :)

No joy. My burn has been running for 30 minutes and is currently at 50%. I'm burning at 1x. Config is below: Prassi 2.0.749 PxEngine Upgrade 3.11 Pioneer A03: Firmware 1.68 I will try upgrading to PxEngine 3.20 and see what happens. Then I'll try Firmware 1.80. I'm not hopeful though. 1x is okay for most of what I do -- but I'd sure like to have seen 2x. jdobbs

jdobbs, Wonder, then if it's the engine upgrade that did it for me. I also noticed that on one of the order pages from cd-recordable, it asks what equipment you're using. I filled in A03 there and indicated video file burning also. I've now done 4 so far and all have burned @2x (~30 min). I checked same file with a disk from judysdeals and it takes about 55 minutes with the new Prassi engine. But...maybe the engine update will do it for you. I know that without it, I couldn't burn TDK (certified for 2x) @2X without the upgrade.

RichR, What firmware version are you running?
