They use substantially different alloys. You may be able to write
to the non-HS (4x) media at 4x, but the recording will be poor and
reliability will be low.
=======================
Do you suppose the burner makers are too stupid not to have considered
the 'substantial different alloy'?
Do you suppose the 4x writing stragegy for low-speed cd-rw is the same
as that for the high-speed cd-rw?

Mike Richter's Cockamamie Mumbo Jumbo on UDF (inherent)
=======================================================
This is Mikey's response to the question why Roxio's DirectCD causes
Win2k system unstable: Is it Roxio? Or, is packet writing itself
unstable under WIN 2000?
======================
From: Mike Richter
Date: 6/27/01
Subject: What is Responsible for Packet Writing Instability?
There is an inherent problem in UDF, particularly with
fixed-length packets
It is that the directory information for the disc is held and
modified in RAM between loading the disc and ejecting it.
Anything which precludes a complete, valid package being written
back risks the whole disc.
======================
In the case of the UDF as implemented by DirectCD, the directory is not
held in ram until the disc is ejected -- supposedly the inherent problem
of UDF:

I pressed the computer's RESET button.
After the computer restarted, the CD-RW disc was fine, and all

I don't believe this is true with the latest versions of
DirectCD (I'm using 2.5d with Win98SE).
I've watched the disc write lights on my Plextor drives when
ejecting a DirectCD CD-RW disc, and the drive never does any
writing at that time.
Once, in an attempt to prove this, I wrote a bunch of files to
a DirectCD CD-RW disc. As soon as the write pulses ceased,

You may well be correct; I have not been using fixed-length
packets for some months.
However, if that's the case, then there's a different problem
- scrubbing the directory area. I don't know if/how that's
solved.
Unfortunately, I have no inside track on information from Adaptec,
only what I glean from using the programs. If I get confirmation
of your information (from them or by experimentation), I'll
certainly change my answer.

you change the disc's contents and then eject it.

When you have just written the data, the directory is in RAM
(which is why the format is fragile).
