I was wondering if there is a way to play them at speed one. Is there a player or something? Thanks Douglas -- </blockquote></div> Knapp I am a bit confused what you are asking. Some dvd players will read and write part of the disk at up 18x They play back movies at 1x. If the drive is combo dvd/cd some drives will read or write part of the time at the maximum they are rated for but again playback is 1x. If your drive is to noisy your options are limited. You may buy a lower noise drive and or use rubber grommets to isolate all metal of the drive including the screws from all metal contact with the computer case. Isolation of that sort is usually found built in only on expensive specialty cases. Otherwise do it your self is your option. At full read or write speed optical drives tend to be noisy. uriah
