all you have to do with the x8 is lower the burning speed when writing

The 2.4x is usually MIS, your 8x may be made in india, or the Philippines. MII or MIP are lower quality, and will reduce the quality of your backups.

Just go to your local stores, and see if they have any verbatim's, then look on the label for some chinese characters, and read around there, you will see in small print where they were made.

Your burner probably only supports 1 speed for DL media.
