dvdrw wont write at 8 speed

[mercmanuk]

i'm running a pioneer 16 speed writer on ide 1,set to slave
16 speed dvd rom on ide 2,set to master..
when using an 8 speed dvd blank i cant get it to copy at 8 speed only 4.
nero "latest version" says its an 8 speed disc and it will take x minutes ,starts to write then takes twice as long than the estimated time
got me baffled.

cheers all keep up the good work

Does your drive include that brand of media in its 8x compatability list? I betcha it don't...

Sensitive little blighters these DVD burners
