BTW the comments about 16x media being fine, it depends on the writer.

If its a decent brand such as Pioneer, NEC then it will be fine.

My BTC 4x writer would not write any 8x discs.

A Teac writer should be fine, good quality writers.

Question though - Why do you want to use 16x discs?

8x Ridisc Xtreme from SVP = best disc ever.

(For DVD+R look for something with a RICOH dye code)

I'm still having difficult bank DVD to choose there are many around.

What do you think of Sony DVD+R. It has a new AccuCORE technology. Has anyone heard of this?

Thanks for your replies.

Just buy cheapest you can find, and store them in the dark.

I wouldn't get too worried about which brand, I buy the cheapest I can find, and have never had a coaster yet.

yeah i had trouble with 16x speed disks in my pioneer drive. they would only write at 4X even tho an 8X drive!

bit of trial and error...

silly question!!! make sure your dvdr drive supports + and - discs.....think it will but better safe than sorry...lol
p.s. i only write at 4X, seems better results and you only save a small ammount of time at 6X etc. I find that :- slower write speed means less problems.... hope this helps
