Just to expand on the burn speed issue: There is more to it than that. Simply put, faster speed means more blur. More blur means the grooves are less precisely defined on the optical disc. This can be seen in an electron microscope. What this means is that even if the burning session is a success, there is a chance that certain readers (usually, but not always, lower quality ones) will have problems reading the disc, even when it works fine in other readers. So, yeah, it is certainly better to burn discs at a lower speed, especially if you plan on using them in readers with which you are not familiar. On the other hand, if you have tried and know that all readers in your home can read discs burned with your laptop at the fastest setting, and you are burning something which you plan on using only at home, there's no point not to burn at a higher speed.
