QUESTION
Using 8x DVD-R discs (DVD hyphen R)

ANSWER
RICOH DVD-R 8x discs are compliant with the new standard for high-speed recording. The discs can only be used with a writer that supports DVD-R 8x discs. If you use these discs in DVD-R writers that are not compliant with those high-speed discs, it may cause a damage to both the disc and the writer. In order to avoid such problems, a firmware upgrade for a DVD-R writer may be required. The details can be found on the following website, or on the manufacturer's website for the writer. <http://www.dvdhs.com/>
