When set to automatic, your software should be trying to burn as fast as

list of what it can do, and the burning software should be letting you
pick from them.  Or, perhaps, it'll let you pick from a range of usual
speeds, and it'll use the nearest match.

that may be true, but I never have to set the speed on burning CDs, but I have
always run into problems with DVDs, LiveCDs,and video DVDs, that fail to run
correctly UNLESS I include the speed=4 option..
