dvd media HELP!!

by XelNaga Jan 4, 2005 6:30AM PST

I own a dvd burner with 4x burning on dvd+/-r media and 2.4x on dvd+/-rw. I recently bought some 8x dvd+r media from memorex and I have a problem. I can only burn at 1x my applications do not let me choose any other speed other than 1x and I've tried multiple applications. I've noticed something different with the dvd media. It says dvd+r but above the letters it has a logo with the letters "rw" in it. It's like a square box with the two letters rw in it. What does this mean? It's obviously dvd+r media because the backside is purplish but it has a rw symbol and my burner can only record at 1x. Can anyone help me out and tell me what this means? I'm so confused!!! I've been burning dvds for a whole year now, I don't get it. How can I fix this problem? HELP PLEASE!! THANK YOU!!!

I don't really know what it mean; maybe it's just a logo. If this is a rewritable disc then it would lable dvd+rw or maybe nothing at all (like some that I have).
As for the other stuff, I don't have any answer for that because I have never try writing to an 8x disc before (I also have a 4x dvd burner).
