Reading speed depend on burning speed?

[Mystiqq]

Hi!

Im currently getting myself my first dvd burner (NEC 3520) and ive got small question that im currently wondering.

Does the reading speed of the burned media depend on the speed used to burn the disc?

i.e. If i burn disc at 4x it has the maximum reading speed of X.

Im asking this question purely to make my mind of whether to buy 4x TY discs or 8x ones. 8x ones are more expensive and also little harder to get within EU.

Thanks in advance!

On my RITEKG04 4x discs, I often reach 15.9x when reading back on an NEC 3500.

So basically, write speed has nothing to do with read speed ;)

Thank you. :)

I have recently bought myself some DVD-Rs on a spindle, but on looking at the recordable side I noticed the colour is slightly 'blotched' in places. The colour of the dye is kind of ultra-violet-pink. I think that poor quality media, and I read somewhere the reflectivity consistency or type, will affect the rating of the discs for writing. But surely such media will also therefore have a slower reading speed? I am not sure whether all DVD drives have built in jitter correction where they will slow down to re-read if they have problems. I am only going by what I have read but in several places on the internet it is recommended that a slower write is more reliable and better if you have the time, so from that I assume it gives a better quality write, and from that I think that a slower quality write will lead to a faster read (because of not having to do jitter correction from a poorer quality write).

It makes sense to me, but I had been wandering the same thing myself. I know that there's different standards for DVD especially PC drives and writable media. Maybe some quality discs don't matter how fast you write them within their rated speed, they can still be read at top speed in a drive, whereas other media it does matter.

About the "slower is better" i read that its not the case everytime. It might actually be worse on too slow speeds instead of using the "prefered" speed. I might be wrong thou...
