To be honest, burn speed should have no relation to the compatability of
your burn. I burn at the slowest speed because it performs a better
burn, I use the example of writing with your hand, do it slowly and you
can press harder on the page, write fast and you cannot afford the time
to pres so hard. However the standards should still be met and
therefore compatability should not be an issue. I can see your problem
being that you have a player that doesn't have a very good laser
assembly, and so had difficulty picking up the data from the faster
written discs, but I'm optomistic that with a new burner, with discs
with a good modern dye, you should be able to make discs that will play.

May I recommend discs made by Taiyo Yuden, SVP down in Devon clearly
list discs that are made by them. and overall consensus is that you end
up with next to none coaster.
