Well, apparently it is an issue with the media.

Listening to the drive, it sounds like it wants to go faster...but is having trouble....but then I did get a DVD-R that made it up to 12X. There also seems to be a zone factor in the speed.

Running about 7.8X and then jumping to 11.5-12.2X near the end. Of course, when it starts it just barely over 4X..holds around 5.8X, then jumps to 7.8X....and then it took off. But, not all the Optodisc DVD-Rs take off at the end....

Though I don't think this knowledge will alter my general buying habit for media. Price is still a big factor. Someday I plan to pick up some DL media as well....
