Dear Customer,

No, the 1008 does not burn DVD-r at 8x, it can burn at a maximum of 4x.
That is the difference between the 1008 and 1108. And unfortunately
no,
there will not be a firmware to upgrade for dual layer burning.

I can't even get it to burn +r at 8x. Oh well, I guess I will have to buy a double layer burner.

i've never tried 8x on this burner. the media is just too damn pricey to gain an extra 5-7 min. but this burner seems pretty solid at 4x. im pretty happy for what i paid for, but i think when dl becomes main stream im gonna be switching brands. the support and the knowledge just arent there for btc vs a more commonly used brand.
