My confusion is that if I have a 20x DVD Burner, and the media is only
16x rated won't the DVD fail. I don't see any settings to lower the
speed of the DVD Burner?
Nope. The burner will run just *fine* at 16x speed or below.
There's information embedded in the media that lets the burner know both
capacity and rated burn-speed. Not sure where or how; but it's there.
The drive will then burn at the lower speed; either drive or media.
Yes, if your drive is only 8x write, it will write just fine on 18x
media as well. All are both upward and downward compatible.
You can even burn really *old* 1x or 2x media, if you happen across such
stuff. And yes, the burner-drive *will* slow down to that speed.
You can also *select* a lower speed on most burner software to go clear
down to 1x or 2x burn-speed for more reliability.
