These are the speeds your combination of firmware/burner/media supports.

 

I 18:06:45 Destination Media Type: DVD+R (Disc ID: CMC MAG-M01-00) (Speeds: 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x)

6x is the lowest speed possible.

[edvaness]

Thanks for the quick reply, so, it's my burner then, will watch when I buy another one ..

[Cynthia]

Doubt you will find any burner today that burns slower than 4x.

 

Slow speed is not the same as best written disc. Modern burners tend to have a nice write quality at higher speeds than the ones from the Fred Flintstones days.
