Waiting for buffers to recover and 8x write rates?

[dbminter]

I've noticed this more often than not lately.

 

 

Whenever the write rate drops to 0 while waiting for the buffers to recover from HD threshold activity, the write rate goes up to 8x max. This doesn't matter on rewritable RW media as 8x DVD+RW is the maximum rate and 8x is the max rate for DVD+R DL. But, for DVD-R rated 16x and BD-R that I have rated at more than 8x, more often than not, I've noticed, the write rate on these media only goes back up to 8x max.

 

 

Is this down to the LG drive or is this ImgBurn behavior?

There's nothing in ImgBurn to change the write speed during the burn. It's probably the drive. They usually do a similar thing if the disc is hard to read (spin down to a slower speed).
