Dual 2.7 with PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-109 cannot burn at 52x. Help!!!

My dual 2.7 will only burn at 32x. It is running 10.4.3 and has a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-109. I use brand name 52x cd-r with a burn folder. What is going on? Also, is it possible to skip the verifying step after the cd is complete?

Thanks

dual 2.7, Mac OS X (10.4.2)

I don't think the DVR-109 is able to burn CD-R any faster than 32x.

Sure you can skip the verify step if you choose but you won't know for certain if the data on the disc is valid until you read it. That's a heck of a time to find out the burn was bad.

No DVD burner is capable of burning CDR at 52X right now. If you want a to burn at 52X, you'll need a CDR only drive.
