The key is allways the firmware. Writable DVDs and CDs are not
standardised to any reasonable degree. Hence the burner designers
need to test lots of media and put the best speed/power settings
into a table in the firmware.

Personally I think so. DVD burner people may not invest too
much time testing CD-Rs. With a CD-burner that is not an option.
But that is just my personal opinion.
