you're using very good discs there, i've used a few 16x Verb +R (burnt at 4x), but have used something like 1500 8x Verbatim, mostly -R but +R too. I've used 100 genuine Taiyo Yuden (TY) discs too but i am a Verbatim man thru and thru. i've not had very good experiences with 8x burning but people do (my system/media are up to the job). but i'm more than happy with 4x burning, it doesn't take long and it's guranteed to work (no multitasking or even touching the computer during the burn process, recently i surfed whilst burning and a few discs burnt 100% fine but skipped on playback).
I only bought the 16x to try them out, and now (in UK anyway) 8x Verbs discs are now cheaper due to the arrival of 16x discs (i've used Verbs from Singapore, India and Taiwan with fantastic results).
i don't use merely decent discs, but only top notch stuff such as Verbatim as previously i bought/used about 500 Bulkpaq Orange 8x discs (mostly burnt at 4x) without burn errors/playback errors. Then i had loads of problems and now i have really bad problems with even playing back those Bulkpaq's, never mind re-copying them. That experience pushed me to start my own thread - the 1st link in my signature...
