Burning 2X on 1X DVD media

[Itmandar]

I heard about a patch on Windows that allows Superdrive write always 2X speed.

Is there a MAC version of this patch?

Superdrive DVR-104

Here is what apple say in reference to the superdrive issue:

Sorry for the mixup.. just do a search on google for 'burning 1x media at 2x' and you will get a lot of info on this matter. The problem appears to be that the firmware needs to have that information within it's tables. Some firmware have not been updated to show 1x media to be able to burn at 2x. I have Verbatim DVD-r media and I burn at 2x, but I don't know if my media is rated 1x or 2x. If I find the site that I saw the media tables at, I'll post it here.

Here's a link to some info on Pioneer's website:

Check out the Media writing pdf and the id check pdf to determine if your media will work @ 2x.

my media is native 1X and my pioneer disables 2X automatically , http://www.macosx.com/forums/images/icons/icon8.gif
but on Windoze there's an hack to write my media @ 2x

Perhaps,
i need to contact an hacker to modify pioneer firmware and make this possible on MAC...
