Good to know, thanks.

I found a bug report for k3b (didn't turn up earlier, I guess I didn't search
well enough), which contains some patches to dvd+rw-tools 7.1:

The media is actually 4x, but the writer says it can write to it at up to 12x.
Judging by the comments, the media is writable at 8x without any problems.
I wouldn't use more than 4x myself, but since the writing with defect
management was so slow, I figured 8x would at least speed it up. It didn't,
really.

Thanks for the info, I'll try it some time.

Thanks a lot,
