This question is possibly OT, but I'm wondering if the laser in a DVD
burner would last longest if I burnt my discs at the lowest possible
speed. AFAICS, for a pit to be irradiated with a consistent amount of
energy, the laser would need to be "hotter" at higher speeds because
it would spend less time over the pit. Is hot and quick better than
slow and cool?

With drives as cheap as they are, who cares? I think I paid $37 for mine
including shipping, it'll be long obsolete by the time the laser wears out.
