Question : Problem: DVD 4x versus 8x

I have two spindles of DVD+Rs 4x and 8x, is the only difference in write speed?  Or is the reading different too?

Answer : Problem: DVD 4x versus 8x

Hello there,

It should say right on the the CD/DVD what the write,read, speeds are. Inorder for you to take full advantage of the sppeds they have to be identical with the cd/dvd and the DVD/CD player.

ie. DVD Player 16x write, 32x read, 4x rewrite, In order to get the speeds that is listed is to have a CD/DVD that will support it. Now, if you have a DVD-R that is 8x write, 24x read then it will only do 8x write and 24x read even though your DVD player can do more.

hope this helps
