But that only works for media really tested with the drive (and
supported from the firmware). If the firmware supports your 8x media you
will get 8x burning speed (possibly even higher speed!). With no media
support you will get 4x or maybe only 2x burning speed.

DVD-Burning is about firmware, media quality and media
compatibility!
