I also recommend burning at 2x or 2.4x first before attempting 4x burning.
4x burning is ~5.2MB/sec and most older ATA33/66 drives have a hard time actually sustaining that level of availability for a burner.

What about 8x or 16x burning? I just had a new DL 16x drive installed and was going to grab some 16x media because I ain't gonna back this PC up again if it takes 10 hours for a backup/verify operation like it did the last time using the old 2x drive <_<
I have a SATA/150 HD & a P4-3.0Ghz with 1GB ram.
