Burning Speeds With FUJI's

[Evhmoon]

I have been regularly using SONY and FUJI blank dvds for the last few years with no problem.. I always Purchase DVD+R 16x blank dvds.........Well, as of 2 or 3 weeks ago, Anytime I use a Fuji DVD, they are burning at 4x or something like that, when i normally burn at 16x.. Fuji just recently changed their packaging a bit (to a silver label instead of blue).......I can still use Sony, Verbatim, or TDK's and burn at 16x without any trouble.. I was able to get some old Fuji blanks that were DVD+R 16x's also which were in cases with the old blue label, and those burned ok......i think fuji changed the formatting of their dvds..i spoke with them yesterday on the phoen about this. they dont have any idea y this is happening. and plus Best Buy is having a sale on em this week $100 for 29.99, so i bought some tonight and was gonna see if i can get em workin ok again.. so hopefully someone here can help me out..

I have a Pioneer DVR -108 .. works great!

You may need to update the firmware to get new write strategies for newer discs.

hmmmm would official firmware's be on pioneer's site? i dont think i have touched anything on that site since i got my burner in November of 2004...

ok.. i went and successfully updated the correct firmware.. rebooted as instructed. Still the same result.. Fuji DVD+R 16x only has 2 options 2x and 4x.....

Any other suggestions?
