I have an iMac w/ Superdrive (16x DVD burning) and just bought some new DVD-R to make some movies. When I try to burn my project, the maximum burn speed is 2x. The type of DVDs are Memorex 16x. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

None of the iMac's have a 16x Superdrives. The original revision was 4x and the 2nd and current revisions have 8x. Have you tried any other media? I usually stick away from the memorex because I have had a lot coasters from their discs

Sorry... I meant the DVD-Rs were 16x and I have the 8x Superdrive. I had Sony's before and they worked fine... burned in about 8 minutes. Now it takes 30 minutes for one DVD.

I think it might just be the memorex media. I know last year there was a brand (I think it was Ritek 16x) that would only burn at half the maximum speed on my 4x burner
