I burn all media at 12X (DVD) but I only use Verbatim 16X + media and sometimes Taiyo Yuden 16X + media. All other media is burned at 8X.Want to get feedback on the optimum burn speed for best results. Nero Forums say 4x and never faster than 16x. What say all?

It just depends upon your burner, it's firmware, the media you use, even the batch of the media you are currently using, etc..
I burn at the speed that the media is rated at.
I always burn @ 4x.
I started out using Memorex DVD-Rs, but I was scared off and now I use TDK DVD-Rs. For the money, Not bad discs.
I use a Lite-On external DVD burner with lightscribe/DL options.
hate to break it to you but alot of the TDK media will code out as CMC mag (same as the memorex) .using Taiyo Yuden and or Verbatim is your best bet. download DVD Identifier to see what the TDK code out as
This mostly true for all but some 16X rated media. I get better burns at 12X with 16X media, even the good stuff like Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden, a 12X burn is only a few seconds slower and in my humble opinion, a better option.I burn at the speed that the media is rated at.
