So I got a 100 pack of printable Memorex DVD+Rs (I know, I know, they kinda suck, but I got them for Christmas) and when I'm trying to burn a disc in ImgBurn at 4x, it only burns at 0.7x. It says it will take about an hour, and it shouldn't be going that slow. It's at .7x for the entire time. Is this more than just a case of bad media?
