This is undoubtedly a dumb question, but please bear with me.

I have purchased a Pioneer A07/107 writer which is supposed to burn 8X DVD media. It works well with Ritek and PioData 4X DVDs.

Now that 8X DVDs are dropping in price I am interested in using the 8X feature of the Pioneer.

Dumb question: What determines the speed with which the Pioneer writes to the DVD media? Does the Pioneer sense the presence of the 8X disk? Does the burn software detect the presenceof the 8X disk? Do I have to modify the software to get the 8X speed?

I am using the AnyDVD/CloneDVD2 combination at 4X with great success.

Thanks for your help.
