changing burn speed

[rocwood]

You would think there would be no difference. I got the rewriter last year the one I had before copied at 2x speed and they worked in the DVD player, now when i copy them at 2.4x the message disc error comes up. I am using DVD-not+

As far as I know, the burner "communicates" with the disc, reading in the speeds that the disc itself supports. Perhaps, the reason why you can only write that particular disc at 2.4x speed instead of 2x is that you're using a different (lower quality?!) media... See http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm for a media quality guide.

I have tried different discs, but will try a better quality disc and see what happens.....thanks

Now I have tried sony dvd-r 1x-4x, when i use this disc, i get no option, burn at 4x speed. When i use a 1x-2x disc it writes at 2.4x, I never had this problem with my old dvd-cd rewriter, and that is the only thing I have changed on my computer and the only reason i changed it was it broke.
