They read with no trouble in the burner, regardless of the speed but just
drives me mad when I try to read them in the DVD-ROM(Pioneer) I hav. Anyfin
above 4X isn't reliable. What brands do u find reliable at 16X mate?

Maybe its a steaming turd.

I dont bother with either -R or +R much
at all, and dont bother with 16X either.

I use +RW and currenty the 4X just because that is decent value. I use
RiDATA (RICOHJPN W11) DVD+RW 4X and they are completely reliable.
