Last response, sorry for all the outward e-mail. For the first 1000mb or so it wrote at a steady 4x, after i heard the DVD start spinning faster and it then began writing at a steady 6x. Then around 2300mb it started writing at a steady 8x. I am not sure what caused the slow start or even what caused it to speed up.
