This is why you have both CD and DVD speed specs on drives. When it comes to CDs, there are two different blank formats. You have the 1x to 4x and the 4x to ?x. You can not burn the 1-4x at faster then 4x. You can not burn the 4x-4x+ CDs at slower the 4x. This has NOTHING to do with DVD burning speeds. Check your drive CD burning speeds and CD blank speeds. See if they are rated to burn at slower then 4x. If not, then regardless of the software, you are NOT doing to be able to burn CDs slower then 4x. Again, this is different then DVD burn speeds. You may want to do some research on burning CDs and DVDs so that you understand the difference. You will probably discover that your hardware will not burn CDs at slower then 4x.
