16x disc speed not compatible?

[bosch]

Hi. I had been using Roxio 6 to burn DVDs with a 8x max. speed, but since the disc speed max for blank DVDs is now 16x, I've noticed that the 16x won't work with Roxio 6.

 

I thought the problem was that Roxio 6 is outdated and can't accomodate the discs, but I've just upgraded to Roxio 9 and have the same problem. Please help!

More than likely it has to do with your burner.Is your burner even capable of 16x?

 

Open DVDInfo Pro in EMC 9 tools, place a blank DVD disc in the burner. Below is what you look for, the first is a 12x burner. The bottom one is a 16x burner. The Available Write Descriptor is what to look for. I'm using a verbatim 16x +R disc in both below.
