Don't burn slower, but don't burn fastest either. You'd think burning slower would give better results, but depending on the disc, you can actually get -worse- results. I don't know why, but some discs like faster speeds (for example I have verbatim 48x cds which have better quality when burned at 8x compared to 4x and 16x).

Best quality is a combination of your burner, its firmware and the disc. If your burner is rubbish, it will affect the quality of your burn.

Someone gave me Transonics once - I used 2, threw another out, and gave them back

I meant attempt a burn at a slower speed if you are having difficulties recording at whatever speed you are currently attempting.

Better still, use decent media.
