Hi,
Does dvd+rw-mediainfo (SUSE 9.2, dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-2) provide reliable information? In my case, it reports:

for a blank 1-4x DVD+R, Maxell.
Does it mean that the disk advertises the writing speed 8x? (See "Current Write Speed" above). The "auto speed" option in K3b resulted in the 8x speed, the burning was OK but the disk was not readable. When I forced the 4x speed then both the burning and reading was OK.
What is wrong? (media, dvd+rw-mediainfo, DVD drive or K3b?)

This sounds very much like a problem I had yesterday. I was forcing my DVD writer to write at X4 and I could not understand why the DVD's were not readable until I re-read the label on the the blank DVD's. Times 2.4. When I wrote at that speed all was well. -- Clive. Fighting for darker skies. 52.41 N 1.30 W
