Hi, a few weeks ago, I went and bought a nice external DVD-RW drive which is working fine except, it won't burn DVDs slower than 6x, which is causing burnt games to lag. since I do most of my burning on my other PC, I would prefer burning at 4x or even 2x. Alcohol 120% identifies the burner as an Imation IMWDVRW16DLE and the DVD-Rs are TDK data/video DVD-R's, clearly marked with "4.7gb 1-16x". How exactly would I go about slowing it down?
I know this might not be the right place to ask about this and I plan on emailing Imation about it (can't at the moment, email is messed up), but I actually typed half of this post while the game had frozen, trying to load the "I just hit you in the face" sound in jade empire.

I have, but it was bloody confusing. I went to the DVD media page, clicked the DVD firmware info link and clicked a link to this, but that didn't really get me anywhere. All that I could find was firmware for early DVD burners that only supported 2.4x to upgrade them to higher speed support.
edit: I did a bit more searching and I got absolutely bugger all. even if I had found something, I don't have the slightest clue as to how to upgrade firmware.
edit: ooops! I was looking at the wrong page. this is the burner I have. snazzy, isn't it?
also, was the site just dead for a minute?

oh, I think I see. on that page with the pic of the burner, it says 4x DVD+R DL. does this mean that I have to use dual layer DVD+Rs to burn slow?
