Problem with Fujitsu N6010...

Hello all.
I recently purchased a Fujitsu N6010.
First off, I must say that this notebook is just amazing and I couldn't be happier with it.

I do seem to be having one problem when writing dvd's. I opted for the multiformat DVD writer in the N6010. Today I tried to burn my first DVD-R and for some reason Nero 6 is posting that the maximum burn speed is 2x. The literature states that this DVD writer writes at 8x. I do indeed have DMA enabled and can't find any relevant adjustments to change the write speed.
Could it be the writer? One would think that this would operate at 8x "out of the box", no? Maybe a software adjustment I'm not aware of?

Can anyone offer any insight or suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks a bunch!
Samantha

Well I called tech support and they didn't have an answer for me. The rep said that the drive should write at 8x for dvd-r.

I sure hope I don't have to send this in!

Maybe you are using DVD with 2x restriction?
Try to burn another DVD-R

I'm using Memorex 8x DVD-R (4.7GB 120minvid). I've written three disks without a problem, but couldn't write any faster than 2x.

I can't believe this.. there must be something that I'm missing. Is there any settings anywhere to address write speeds? I've tried the included RecordNow software as well as my own copy of Nero6 and both say I have a max write speed of 2x for DVD-R...

Any help would be so much appreciated!!

Ok... Tech support again. This time the gentleman said that the documentation is deceiving. This writer READS at 8x DVD+R/-R and WRITES at 2x.

Hmm...

The Optical Drive

The N6010B Sports a Multi-Write DVD+/-RW Drive. This is my first experience with a laptop including a DVD Burner. The first test I did with it was to copy a DVD movie. I used a program called ICOPY DVD's. After the Program was done copying the source disc, I popped in a Memorex 4X DVD+R Disk. The disc was done recording in approximately 21 minutes. I have nothing really to compare to, but I can say that's about the same speed the 12X Liteon DVD+/-RW in my PC burns 4X DVD's. The next test I performed was a standard CD-R record. I used a game demo download that weighed in at 687MB. A generic 700MB blank disk was used. It finished the recording in 7 minutes 22 Seconds. I experienced no issues with either test, and have since burned 6 DVD's and 15 or so CD-R's as well with no issues. Installation of software and movie playback was also performed without any glitches, however copying data from a source CD to the hard drive seemed to take a fair bit longer than I thought it should. I don't have any time figures for this observation.

Overall I feel the drive is solid and a decent performer, plus it is quiet when in operation, which is nice.
