This may be completely normal for your drive.
I have a Pioneer DVR-A09 and it will burn many different brands of 8x
disks at 12x. The firmware in the drive has a special write strategy
for certain media codes, and automatically ups it to 12x.

I can't get it to burn a disk. I bought a package of FUJI DVD+R 8x
disks.
Using Roxio's latest Easy Media Creator I keep trying to do a data

Then I click burn and at first it acts like it's going to write to the
disk. Then is stops and ejects the disk, and throws up a message that
reads something like this:
"Please insert a blank disk into the recorder. You may use any of the
following types of media: CD this and that, yatta, yatta, DVD-R,
DVD-RW, yatta, yatta. . ."
In a dropdown box it shows "48x MAX (8.3mb/sec)
I try brand new disk-after-disk and it does the same thing.

(Try Nero, NTI CD/DVD Maker or RecordNow.)
Try with DVD-R. Suspect that Fuxio may have trouble with DVD+R media,
and this Mike Richter's cockamamie mumbo jumbo was to weasel out of the
problem:

Compatibility, durability, speed in writing, which one is better

in my experience (which is limited),
+R is more likely to work in Europe.

Impressed with the tidbit about the "European" stuff.
But whatever happened to "quirky", "anomalous" or "trickier"?

Is it now "quirky"?
Whatever happened to "anomalous" or "trickier", Slimeball?

Sounds like you have extensive experience in DVD burning.
What do you mean by "trickier"?
Did burning to the + media require you to use a needle,
a magnifying glass and a cigarette lighter?

To whom it may concern.
I concluded the Toshiba unit was defective on arrival. I returned it
and bought an NEC ND-3540A, which seems to be working great except for
one issue. I'll post another article about this issue.

I just installed a new Toshiba SDR5372 DVD recorder. You can see the
specs here
http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_techspecs_full.php/masterid=4826172#description
In part they read:
DVD+R DL Speed: 5 X (DVD, DVD-R)
DVD+R Speed: 16 X (DVD, DVD-R)
DVD+RW Speed: 4 X (DVD, DVD-R)
DVD-R Speed: 12 X (DVD, DVD-R)
DVD-RAM Speed: 2 X (DVD, DVD-R)
DVD-ROM Read Speed: 16 X (DVD, DVD-R)
DVD-RW Speed: 4 X (DVD, DVD-R)

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
