Ritek 4x media

It should only take 30 mins for a full disk at 2X. It sounds like your drive is having to use burnproof because it's not being fed it's data quick enough. Try enabling DMA and this should speed things up. Taroth

Yep, the ritek g04's may bring up 4x capable burning, but it will only burn at 2x. I'm going to try returning the 50 I bought. Does anyone know how good Hyper Microsystems are with returns?

i have dma enabled, maybe ill take the chance and take burnproof off see if it makes a diff even though it might make a coaster. I hope thats not the prob cause my machine is pretty fast i dont want to have to buy new shit to make it quicker

HYPER microsystems is telling me I need to downgrade my firmware to use the riteks g04 at 4x. How do I do this? I have 1.0f

I already tried that and it didn't work. I went back to 1.0d and they still wrote at 2X. I have firmware 1.0d if you want to try it. Taroth

Hi Thanks for your reply but I am already running Win XP Pro with SP1. I have tried bios revisions 1.0d, 1.0f and the new 1.0g I am now convinced it is a media quality problem. Some of the disks have a really deep purple colour (like Ritek G03) and these will write at 4X whereas the rest have a wishy washy purple colour and these drop back to 2X after the drive has tested the disks. Can anyone else confirm these findings and if so where do we get the deep purple variety? The box I purchased was mixed with the majority being the wishy washy type. Taroth

I got my self infiniti 4x media that is ritek g04 and have burned 4 dvds so far with nero and have burned them all successfully in 4x even when I was encoding a movie in the backround and surfing the net. they all took under 16 minutes to burn. and I have the dru-500a with firmware 1.0g I updated my drive to the g firmware before I got the media so I dont know if it has to do with the g firmware or not but it works soo good with writing and everything is very very good readble. so I am very happy.
