sorry for asking this stupid question, but i was curious Very Happy

is it true that if you write a cd-r with a greater speed, like 48x or 52x cdroms, especially old cdroms have problems reading it?

i notice this happen. my old laptop cant read any cd i burned esp if it the files are too big already.

I've found that burning at any speed over 12x gets unstable.
Also, many computers have trouble with CD-RWs. Usually the re-writables can only be read by the system that burned them.

Well I have been burning CDs for ages & never had any problems. I know that some CDRW dont burn some kinds of CDs. Like my CDRW in my laptop doesn't burn any non-branded CDRs. But what ever I burn from any CDRW works fine on 99% machines. Even my CDRW in desktop burns with 48x and works fine on an old machine with CD 8x.

It really depends on the older drive. Some drives will read anything you throw in them, while others won't read ANY burned media at all. I had an external laptop drive once with that problem.

hm
When you burn cd with 52x that shouldnt have any effect on reading that cd in older (slower) cdroms. But, sometimes, when you burn music (or other multimedia files) with maximum spead of you CDRW and CD-R, may cause that music is not in good quality and song not playing smooth, but, thats not only problem with old drives.

Same is with DVDs.

if u going to burn small files use 52x but if the files are too big use slow speed
like 12 x and lower Smile

for movies i use low speed and for files like 60 mb on mincd i burn it in 52X Smile

and like this lets say if the file 200 mb i'll use 24x Smile
