hmmmm, was quite happy to see this happen and wanted to know if there is some kind of restriction on it of some kind. You see what happened was ive mostly just used Ritek G04s and my supplier closed down so i went looking for another cheap suppliers and couldnt find any that i thought were reasonable. Then i found one that sold G05s so i tryed them out. As most of you know that they are 8x, and G04s are 4x. Well my burner
(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/optical_devices/dvs/pro_dvs_detail.php?UID=526)
burns dvd-r @ 4x and dvd+r @ 8x. But when i was burning with DVD Decrytper after about 20% writing it jumps from 4x up to 8x but only for about 25% and then drops down. Here is the log from DVD Decrypter:
