  2. "English teacher's joke:
    A preposition is a terrible thing to end a sentence with."

    Sorry, it's quite correct to have a preposition at the end of a sentence sometimes. Whatever book you are reading from is out of date.

    For example, if you're in a store & a customer comes in it is alright to say
    "What are you looking for?"

    You don't expect them to say, "For what are you looking?" do you?

    A preposition is a word at the beginning of a prepositional phrase .

  10. I'd like to see a speedtest of a 4xPrinco (a full one, 4.37GB) burned at 8x in a Liteon or Toshiba DVD-ROM if it can be read at 12x-16x.

    Thanks for all the responses to my lesson in proper English. Unfortunately, I was NOT really trying to correct the world's use of prepositions in English. My intent was humor and I missed my mark; now I know better.

    Also, to amend my original post, the speed I use to burn DVDs is not a BFD. It always precisely matches the manufacturer's suggested limit for the media being burned so I get perfect results every time.

    I have a question: some people say it's a little more reliable to burn at lower speeds, other people say that speed has nothing to do with reliability, nor with the durability of the recorded data.

    I wouldn't mind waiting some extra minutes - but is it really worth it? Some technical insights will be very appreciated.

    True. In my place we have lots of unbranded media, if I want to try them I just burned them @ 1x to avoid errors.

    Was forced to learn that in school many years ago.

    I have a 4x max Optorite burner:

    Most 4x advertised DVDRs at 4x.
    Some especially crappy 4x advertised DVDRs at 2x.
    Never used 2x advertised DVDR media and don't plan to.
    DVD-RWs at 2x and DVD+RWs at 2.4x.

    I think 4x is plenty fast for me so I don't mind not having an 8x burner.

    .................................................. .................................................. ........

    And btw, I DID find TheFamilyMan's remark funny and not offensive. Some of you should lighten up.
