I.....am very well versed in DVD and other digital media theory....I believe that, indeed, you can burn discs
quite quickly and depending on
your media, and your drive, etc.....you can get "perfect" burns nonetheless....
However, I would like to see some support of the generalized "Faster is better" claim...
because you're gonna have to do some convincing to say that 24x or 16x burns are as reliable as 8x burns, across the board.No I'm not claiming that a 16x burn is as reliable as an 8x burn - and (for the record) it's not possible to burn ANY DL disc in the world at that speed with any writer, that I'm aware of.
and....I'd sincerely very much like a link to that other post, I couldn't find it. Thanks!
I'll do you one better, and quote it here:

It's not about rushing the burn, it's about quality. Slow burns heat the disc up too much, and because the disc takes loner to cool the data isn't burnt as well as a good high speed burn. 4x is still an entirely linear burn, so it can't possibly be a worse quality burn. At any rate, the disc is fully rated to be burnt up to 6x; here are links to the official product website (there are only two DVD+R DL Verbatim discs):
MKM 003 - this is the disc that has 8x on the label.
MKM 001 - this is the disc that has 2.4x on the label (or printed on the inside rim of the disc). You'll notice in the product features it says:
- Verbatim DVD+R DL discs burn up to 6X speed with compatible high speed DVD+R DL drives. Saving you about 20 minutes per burn
- 8.5 Gbyte's of storage capacity on a single-sided disc--No need to flip the disc
- Largest compatible DVD back-up and data archiving format for computer drives
- Record 4 hours of DVD quality television and video (16 hours of VHS quality)
- Supported by high speed Double Layer writers, up to 6X, burn 8.5GB in approximately 16 minutes
- Compatible with DVD+R DL drives from Sony, Philips, Lite On and other leading manufacturers
- Ideal for archiving home movies
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
Still, it is me being a bit over-obsessed with quality, cause it may make no real difference to the Wii.
