Stupid question, probably, but your CD-Rs are rated for 28x, aren't
they?
I understand that the blank can indicate to the drive and the software
how fast it's happy to go. Then the software can use that as a maximum
so you don't waste CDs.
Many cheap CDs don't support high burn rates, yet don't call attention
to the fact.
