If you are trying to copy a 160 minute DVD file to a disc, it will take ~10 minute with a 16x DVD-R and will take ~20 minutes with a 8x DVD-R

The 16X can write twice the speed of the 8x simple as that

16 x speed is twice as fast than 8x.
But personally, through experience, a slower recording speed produces better quality. So if I have the option to record, i'd choose 8x.

8x is half the speed of 16x. You may have read issues with older DVD players if you are making DVD movies. if you have read issues you can try lowering the speed to 4x.

Basically, the faster the speed, the quicker it takes to burn on to a DVD
