with newer hardware, decent quality blank media, and current generation
'16X' and '20X' burners, I find burning DVDs at 8X, which is the max CLV
speed, gives me a very high level of player compatibility. Better yet,
it doesn't take hardly any longer than the 'full speed' burn. faster
than 8X, the drives use CAV mode where the burn speed goes up on the
outer part of the disk, which makes the last 20 or 25% of a full disk
much more prone to errors.
btw, I've found current generation Samsung fullsized SATA & ATAPI(IDE)
burners to be very reliable and highly compatible with a wide range of
playback gear.
