    I just realized I ordered 16x dvds and only have a 8x burner. can i burn them at 8x? that'd be a bummer to have a nonworking 100pack, new burner to use them, might as well give it a new home. wife'd kill me a new computer to burn that 100 pack.

    Should be fine. Just make sure your firmware is up to date.

    I've always burned all my MCC004 (Verbs 16X DVD+R "advanced azo") at 4X and I've never encountered any issues whatsoever. I suppose 8X will be just fin -- like "neodave" said, make sure your firmware it the most current.

    I burn everything @4 anyhow just never bought disks faster than my burner. I know it doesn't make a difference on cd's but dvd burners seem a whole lot more media sensitive.
