Has anyone a solution to the problem I face?

I have a SONY CRX195E1 (40x/12x/48x ) and use Nero 5.5.9.17
In all the versions of nero i have used (5.5.8.0 to 5.5.9.17) Nero only lets me write at a max of 16x on princo 700 mb discs which have a max speed of 48x. I have tried these cds elsewhere and they do work at 48x

For all other times and all other media it works perfectly with no trouble at all at 40x
If anyone has ANY suggestion please write in or post

If you do not place any media in the recorder till Nero asks you to, are you then able to select the Max write speed?

But once you insert the CDR media, the write speed drops down? If yes, then this is caused by the Recorder determining that the media does not support this write speed, and so forces a slower write speed.

Nero works with the drive MFG's closely, and they requested this feature so they can insure good quality writes. If other programs still allow the Full write speed, it's because they override the Recorders wishes, and this can cause poor or defective writes.

To resolve, you'll need to have the Recorder MFG upgrade it's firmware for support for this media at high-speeds, or obtain another brand of CDR media.

Regards,

Craig
