I think yes...if only because some burners can only do 1x, 2x, etc. (though I
know that's not your question, really). Try cutting the speed of your burning and
test the same media in your car. That will usually increase readability. My
understanding is that burners have a built in bios which adjusts itself somewhat
to differing media (based on reflectivity), so I would use that to buttress my
former *yes* - then again (as always) I defer to greater knowledge.
