[Dvdrtools-users] RE: Pioneer Burners and 4x Media

[MAL]

I haven't actually read anything which says it /can/ do 4x yet. Just
that 4x media breaks it.

As per CD-R media, once a higher speed media becomes cheap, they drop
the lower speeds.

If you've got some evidence that says it can do 4x, please share.
