To be quite honest uneless when u burn at 16X ur burner is doing a really crappy job, i think u'd be hard pressed to see any difference in loading times.

That being said, there have been tests involving the quality of burns @ slower speeds - and this is concrete evidence to suggest this gives a better burn - for the saving of a few mins, If its of concern to you mate, just burn at the slower speed.

I look at it another way - As I've still got the original - if my backup fails who cares - I can recreate said backup the exact same way I did it the first time.

From what i've read you should be able to backup Dual Layers with the LG drive - Dont stress about burning out your drive laser on the wii... $180 and u can buy a complete new drive from ozmodchips
Cheers buddy.

ok thanks. i have heard buring at slower speeds on high speed media such as 16x is not as effective, as the media has been designed to take the full speed. saying that i have read also its better to burn it slow, so confusing hahah. i do sometimes though have a few eject issues where i need to turn the wii on and off to eject my disc. i have fw2.1 on my d2pro which supposedly fixes the issues but im not sure if it has.

I used to use a D2Pro in my own wii - And to be quite honest I never had the eject issues you talk about. But I digress - whats turning things on and off a few times in the long run its still a great lil console.
