I would disagree: the media is designed such that, up to a certain
speed, it will work with an acceptable number of errors - i. e. if
you try to use it above that speed, you're on your own. But I
don't think that means it is _best_ at that speed, only that it
will probably _work_ at that speed (because people want high
speeds). I still think slower will make a better burn - sharper
edges between burn and no burn, deeper blacks (or whatever) in the
burns.

All I can say after burning many hundreds of CDRs and DVDrs over the
the years, I've never noticed any disavantage to burning at the highest
rated speed or advantage to burning at a lower speed. I get the same
percentage of good or bad burns either way.


I suppose that different brands of media could account for different
results.
