I burn my 16x DVDs at 2x speed even though my burner supports the highest speeds, i've experienced trouble with 16x before but 2x always works flawlessly, for any game i tested.

wow... this got off topic very quick...

when you put MAX in ImgBurn, it will burn as fast as it thinks is safe for your system.

Even if you put 8x or 16x, it will only burn as fast as it thinks is safe... I'm usually downloading from uTorrent, which is a little taxing on my HD, so I've never really gotten above 6x or 7x... even though my burner is rated at 8x, and my current Sony discs are rated at 16x

Pioneer + Verbatim + ImgBurn + 4X or 6X or 8X or 12X or 16X or 18X or 20X or 22X

+ NO PAPER LABELS

Burn your discs at the speed indicated on the disc itself. It the disc say's 2x, then burn at 2x. If the disc says 16x burn at 16x. If the disc say's 2,094,846x, then guess what... you got a fake disc...

The disc is MADE to be burned that fast, and burning slower isn't good for the disc... if you only have an 8x drive, and 16x discs, then yes, burning at 8x is fine... but if you have an 8x drive, and burn a 16x disc at 2x, yea, something is gonna mess up...

wrong.

the speed indicated by the disc manufacturer simply reflects the maximum speed that the disc can be burned at that will yield a disc with valid data

no, it actually is usually the speed recommended for "fewest errors"
however, you are right in the (Fairly self-explanatory summation inserted)
if your burner can't do it right, it can't do it right.

start at the listed speed, if you get errors, step down until you don't.
