Teon 8X DVD+R

[tienquang2]

Hi folks,

I have a Pioneer108 using Teon 8x DVD+R media.
Disc ID: CMC MAG-E01-00.
As you can see I have attached a pic of the DVD Decrypter's analysis of the media. It is capable of 1x ~ 16x. So far, I have manage to write with 7 1/2 minutes at 8x or 10x. I would like to be able to write at 16x at around 5 minutes or so. Can this be done?

Thanks...

You can burn it at 16x on the 108. However the media won't be able to be read in most players. I have had no success with burning any low grade media past 4x speeds. Hope this helps.

You want to write at 16x in 5 minutes? WOW! Does this kind of writer exist?

Maxell 8x DVD-R MXL RG03 6:20
Memorex 8x DVD-R CMC MAG.AE1 6:25
RiDATA 8x DVD-R RITEKG05 6:24
Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD-R TYG02 6:24
Verbatim 8x DVD-R MCC 02RG20 6:27

You'll notice that even the 1 16x Verbatim DVD+R disc did not acheive a 5 minute burn.

You must be using the hacked firmware to overspeed the media. The best results will be achieved at the rated speed for the media. If you want to burn at 16x you'll have to buy 16x. Besides, the difference between 16x and 12x isn't a whole lot. So stick with 12x max for your burning pleasures.
