Mee too :-) Plextools (of course) won't work on the laptop as it
doesn't have a Plextor drive. But CD-DVD speed still won't work.

But then it is strange that Plextor's own tool allows that info.
Those scans (that are same type as CD-DVD) allows for PI/PI data.
For the laptop that might be a cheap drive (never heard the name)

Have a discussion there as well :-)

Yep, that IS true. And since 12x and 8x disks worked OK (and those
don't have that PIE rate raise at the) end, that points to the same

Possible, it's a very cheap player :-) Works on all other players.
But anyway. I don't like that PIE error rate at the end at 16x, so
I'll burn at 12x (or even 8x for backup of important data) I think.
