Thanks for clearing that up.

Very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

I did my own small unprofessional test recently wrt to speed vs. quality. I 
used KProbe with a Lite-On reader to assess which burn speed yields the best 
result. I used the same media and the same burner for all tests. I tested 4x, 
6x, 8x, 12x and 16x. 8x turned out to be the winner.

Thanks Thomas!
