My fellow burners,
I'am needing a little enlighting here.Which is actually better for use?The DVDx8 or DVDx16?The reason for me asking is that I don't know what the difference is between them.

All that I know is that the DVD+R (Verbatim)that I have right now are x16.
Do,the 8x record better?

If you're going to write at 16x, buy discs rated at that speed.

No what I mean tho.Will a burner like the PX-716A & 760A write better in quality at 8x?

With 8x or 16x rated media? Either way, it depends on the drive and/or media. With some drive/media combinations, you get good results at both speeds. With others at 8x. And with really crappy media, you get bad results at both speeds. :wink:
