I already have successfully burned movies onto dvd+r media with a speed of 4x.

My dvd writer's speed is 4x and I was wondering if it would burn movies onto dvd+r media with a speed of 2.4x? If so, would these 2.4x dvd+r's play movies just as fine in my dvd player as the 4x dvd+r's?

In other words, what is the difference between 2.4x an 4x dvd+r media?

Thanks

4X-rated media is just the MAXIMUM SPEED that you can safely burn the discs. Just like you can burn 48X-rated CD-Rs at slower speeds, there's no problem burning at 2.4X with 4X media. In fact, it is more likely that you avoid some errors burning at a slower speed, but remember that you're probably paying 25% more for the faster 4X media. (About the errors, I did get some errors burning at 4X with 4X TDK media recently, but worked fine after I burned at only 2.4X)

ok thanks, because i saw an advertisement for 25 pack spindle of memorex 2.4x dvdr that was cheaper than the memorex 4x dvdr 25 pack spindle, but when i got to the store it was sold out of the 2.4x dvdr's; so i just bought the 4x. I rarely have errors with the 4x memorex media. thanks for the reply.
