I’m not sure I would trust a 24x burn on even the best media. The savings in speed are minimal anyhow. I burn all my discs at 12x despite being 16x capable.

Wonder how long until they can it because it is eating into their blu-ray sales…lol

What would be more welcomed is support for dvd-rw dual layer (that format has gone all quiet again) and 12x dvd+rw. I’m starting to doubt we will ever see those formats though.
I remember reading that 16x was the highest speed dvd burning would ever reach and with this announcement that figure has been increased by 50%
