Hope Pioneer could improve the write-quality

Yes, I'm also having problems writing to Verbatim 8x DVD+RW media. When I read the disc back, it fails right where the drive jumps up to 8x.

The LG 22x is better choice for 22x, I guess. But still room for improvement on some media

Here's the problem I'm having with Verbatim's 8x DVD+RW media. The drive writes to it fine at 8x.
