DVD+R 16x discs

Hey! I bought some 16x DVD+R (4.7GB) discs, but I'm having problems burning with them. I usually use 8x DVD+R (4.7GB) discs, and I burn them at 4x on my (Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-109) burner. When I burn these discs, I have no problems. So ... with these 16x discs, is it best to burn at 8x?? Because I think I burnt one at 4x and it turned out shite! Any advice? Thanks heaps

 

yeah you want to burn them at 8x . also make sure you have the latest firmware update on your drive this will help support the 16x speed media

 

here is the link for the latest firmware for your drive: LINK

 

sometime its better to burn on lower speeds. depends on the data and the source player

 

Hey guys! Thanks for that I'll try burning at 8x and see how that goes. Cheers!

 

What's the brand name of those +16x blanks?

What's the brand name of those +8x that you were using?

Here's dvdidentifier,and see what the MID codes are on those discs-it's a free program:

Quality media like Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim,8x should be no problem. Crap media can be another story. Stand alone players will have a harder time with crap media-bad playback,no disc errors,etc.

 

Thanks for that DVD Identifier link. Burning at 8x seems to have worked fine though, so I've got no more problems! YAY Cheers.
