I wanna burn an iso for Silent Hill 2 Greatest Hits edition onto a disc but I'm wondering what write speed to use. I have Verbatim DVD-r's. My possible speeds are 4x and 8x. Can anyone help me?

Not really.The slower the better
We don't know his specs, and older computers are more likely to have disc drives slots than newer ones, and older computers are more likely to have this problem.Not really.
Drive speed mattered back in the day when buffers amounted to about half a second of burning and the inks were crap.
Today we have buffers any size you like, quality lasers in the drives, hard drives that even if things were fragmented and you hammer it otherwise can probably still keep up (though I would still suggest not hammering the hard drive while you are burning), and inks are actually pretty good.
To that end whatever the rating the discs are at, or slightly lower than that if your hard drive might not do well.
Most failed burns these days I would expect to come from people not getting rid of a piece of a fluff on the disc before burning it.
Unless said old computer is a P3, P4 or similar then I doubt it.We don't know his specs, and older computers are more likely to have disc drives slots than newer ones, and older computers are more likely to have this problem.
