snick,
16x dvd burners are a very safe bet, besides, even IF faster than 16x rated dvd media comes out, WHY would you want to burn even faster? the general rule of thumb here regarding burning dvd video/movies, is to USE Good Quality blank dvd media to begin with and keep your actual BURNs @4x, while if you use REALLY GOOD MEDIA, i, among others burn successfully @8x~, but there should be NO REAL reason why someone would WANT to burn any faster, especially for video on dvd~ :) burning faster increases your chances of errors and could result in a "coaster" or pixellation, freezing, skipping, among many other problems with the dvd when come time to view it on a standalone players~ :)
so, yes, you should invest in a good dual layer/dvd-r/dvd+r/DL compatible burner, it will be worth it, don't worry about the "faster rated media" in the meantime, the 16x discs NOW are no better than the 8x and some of the 4x media that were readily available years ago. it's just a natural progression of technology, i'm happy with my 4x and 8x rated media just fine, make sure you use the "good stuff" though, you will be glad you did...check my sig. for suggestions on media~ :)
