DVD-R 8x 4,7gb disc question

[nontechguy]

Hi ... I have a bunch of these disc dvd-r 8x 4.7gb , My question is will I still be able to use ( burn )these disc with the new burners that are now out ? I mean they are now 16x burners, Do I need to have 16x dvd +/-rw/r types disc to work with the new burners ? Can someone explain this to me , Much appreciated , Thanks

Definitely. You can use the new and fast burner to burn media within the speed designed for that type of media. However, you can't expect the old, low speed burner to burn faster than the speed it is built for
