NEC 2500A..Taiyo Yuden Media..8x Burns

[IgotGAME]

I just tested a Taiyo Yuden DVD-R 4x and it burns at 8x which is good. I burnt 3 GIGS in 7:48 total time.

Is that about right?? in terms of the amount of data and the time it took at 8x??

I figured it would be since 4x at 4.7 gigs of data would be about 15 minutes. Therefore, 3 gigs at 4x would probably be 10-11 minutes. It only took 7:48 on my 8x drive at 8x for 3 gigs.

Just someone reassure me that the time it took is about accurate for 8x?

yes, it is.

[edit] well, it actually looks like it wouldn't be burning at 8x the whole time...but its close

no your right.they dont burn at a constant 8speed.
it sorta builds over a few minutes

The only Taiyo Yuden DVD-R Media i have found in my local BB was the
Ten packs of Fuji 4x DVD-R "Made in Japan"

As for the write speed of the Nec2500a (uses Z-CLV burning method)

Burning at 8x.

0gb to .8gb is done at 4x
.8gb to 2.2gb is done at 6x
2.2 to end is done at 8x
