Cav?

What is CAV? And, should I necessarily spend 10 extra dollars on this, rather than this?

Constant Angular Velocity (CAV)
The CAV mode spins the disc at a constant RPM throughout the entire writing process. Consequently, the data transfer rate continuously increases as the optical head writes from the inner to outer diameter of the disc. For example, a 5x CAV DVD-RAM recorder begins writing at 2x at the inner diameter of the disc accelerating to 5x by the outer diameter of the disc.

I´d say no (bit of a gimmick) You should always burn your media at slow speeds. For DVD´s I don´t write at speeds of more than 4x, for CD´s 8x.

Thanks, and can you explain to me why you should always burn media at a lower speed?

The speed of your player, whether it be Car stereo, or standalone DVD player, does´nt read at high speeds. Anther PC would´nt have problems.
If you use good media (Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden are the most reliable) with a good program like Imgburn , and burn at low speeds you lower the risks of making a lot of coasters. Besides, what´s the rush.

I agree, always burn at slower speeds. I have had a lot of times making OS disks where if you burn it to fast you get a corrupted or missing file or 2.
