TDK+R 8x=16x but TDK-R 8x=12x on A08XL??

Pioneer A08XL with 1.20b firmware
Latest Nero 6.6.0.13

TDK DVD-R=TTG02

TDK DVD+R=YUDEN000 T02

Did I do anything wrong? Or did I just get one made in Japan vs. one made in Taiwan?

No, you did nothing wrong. Those are just the speeds those discs are supported at.

So I'm actually better buying +R so I can burn at 16x??

Sure, if speed is important to you.

Ok, ok. What am I missing...?
Thanks for the help, btw.

Ian, was there something else you meant in that reply??

[Ian]

When buying media, there are a number of things you need to consider. Quality of the media, compatibility of that media with the drive you're using and compatibility of the media with DVD playes, etc.

If those discs are giving you good results and play with your various drives, then there's nothing wrong with using them.

Thanks Ian!
