I guess you might be right, the PI/PO values go up at the end from people's results, and probably my result will be similar. I think I should not say in my initial post that it burn at 8x to the end because it showed 7.8x. (I was shocking to see that it just took 8 mintues and 24 seconds to finish a disc <4,571,138KB, movie -The Patriot> so typed real fast)
I will keep you posted.
