Well that could be it, I know that newer versions of cd-recording software can read info on the media capability. As for the readable/unreadable I just throw 'em away when they no longer can be burned at high speed, new media 1€ a piece so I figure that if I get 6 months out of a CD-RW it's a good deal. But I still record CD-R at less than max speed try to keep it at 24x or something since I know that my CD-R discs are going to get used in all kinds of cdroms.

I noticed that none seemed to be willing to touch this with a 10-feet pole. So I just have to ask one thing WHY? Why record at 1X except for it to take as fscking long as possible, or is there some hardware choke point that you
neither of those reasons. I have found through experience that it can mean the difference between readable and unreadable when a disc is played in another player, especially an older one. At 1X the melting is a little deeper and can allow some older players to read the disc while it would start skipping on playback when the disc was recorded at a higher speed
Basically this too is my reason for wanting to write at 1X.
I am not sure but I believe that your not being able to record at 1X could be an issue with the drive.
Thank you, but this very drive with this very media used to burn at 1X under SuSE 8.1, so I donøt think the hardware is to blame. An other poster informs me that in particular CD-RW media may mandate a minimum write speed. Perhaps the older cdrecord did not take into consideration the media ATIP information, and the new one does.
