What is the optimum DVD write speed?

Question

I recently purchased some RiDATA DVD+R DL discs and on the case it says the write speed is 8x, but I don't know it that is the optimum speed to write them at. I heard that it is better to write them at 4x but I am not sure. I am using ImgBurn to write the DVDs and was wondering what write speed I should set it at. I have been receiving a lot of error messages when writing the DVDs and wanted to know whether the write speed may have something to do with that.

Answer 1

x4 the ideal best .

faster burner speed= faster spoilage of DvDs

x1 = optimum but waiting time is too long.

Answer 2

the slower you burn the better the chance of it turning out to it's "best" quality

Answer 3

Depends how much your dvdwriten can handle but optimal speed is 16x

Answer 4

I buy 16X DVD's and put it at 16X and don't see a problem with it.

Answer 5

I like "FAH" or simply put:

Fast as h**l
