Who Makes the Best Media? I guess based on my results the DVD's I have are OK.

Thanks for the Input, sounds good to me I just was checking. The disc I was burning to test where only a half a disc and never reached the end of the disc. I guess my speed isn't that bad.

This has probably been asked many times. I have a Plextor PX-760A Drive I am using Memorex 16x DVD+R Disc's Why is my average write speed so much slower than 16 X? At first it was even slower so I checked the Plextor web site and I saw a Firmware Update, this did help it speed up but I would expect somewhere closer to 16 X. I am trying to get this tuned up ASAP I have to burn 30 Copies of a DVD in the next couple days. Other than that I am very happy with the product. I 23:26:47 Operation Started!
