G'day A lot of current discs state an 8x or 16x rating, but EVERY one can be burnt at a lower rate; in fact if your'e having reliability problems, it actually can help to burn at a lower speed. The main factor in faulty disc burning is the manufacturer. I personally use Verbatim DVD-R's, and have burnt a stack of 100 discs without a single fail, using a superdrive on an intel iMac. Google 'what is the best DVD-R brand' for lots of useful information.
