Try differnt media m8. Personally I use verbatim 4x -R's & burn them @ 8x.

Yeah try other media like TDK. I can't get Ridata 8X media to burn at 8X on my NEC 3500 or my Optorite burners but then TY 8X media burns at 16X and Optodisc and TDK 8X all burn at 8X.

What is the final times for your TY when you burned it at 16X? I can't imagine it be about 4 mins. If so, that is GREAT.

TY is Taiyo Yuden. I bought a 50 pack from www.rima.com they are 8X DVD+R media and the Rima code is 1733-50 FYI.
