here is my next two cents worth on the last of my crappy imation media (yeah it's almost gone). i burned an exercise vid that was less than 4.7 gig for the test. I had read it with dvdd in ISO mode then wrote it back with ImgBurn. just for the sake of argument I tried to set my burner @ 4x, and while it said it was set there it still burned at 6x(guesss it's right about burn speeds) included are the scans. Then I reburned the vid the same way but at 8x, which I have finally found a burn option at 6x to be best.
The next phase was to attempt another burn at 8x, from a movie that had been processed by shrink. I tried twice to burn it at 8x and ended up with coasters. I then burned it at 6x and got a very pretty burn, probably one of the best I have ever gotten from the media. I have learned especially with the Imation media(which is what got me to learn about media quality in the first place) is that the discs at the bottom of the spindle tend to do more poorly than the rest. i have a quality scan included of the movie just for arguments sake. the big thing I learned if you have to or are possessed to buy Imation media make sure it has the made in iNdia label, but i would just avoid it all together if possible.
