It will probably tell you which write speeds are supported by your Lite-On
model burner with a particular brand of disc. If it says 4x burning is
supported, then there's a problem with the Nero software. But maybe you just
need to try a different brand/kind of disc.

Or you might bite the bullet and learn how to use something like ImgBurn,
and forget about Nero. ImgBurn will burn best for a maximum number of
standalone DVD players, particularly on DL discs. Here's a fairly good
general introduction:

Possible also, check for a firmware update for your burner model. Looks like
the latest for your model is from Sept'06.

Select the Optical Storage category and enter your model number. Not all
firmware upgrades are an improvement, so don't blame me! :)
