Sustained speeds are for DVD, not CD-R

Keep in mind that this hint gives the speeds you need to write DVDs.

> Two 8X burners gives you a 16X effective burn, which is about 22MB/sec.

To write CDs, you need much lower sustained speeds. Each "x" in a CD-R write speed is 150k/sec, so an 8x drive requires only 1200kb/sec, or about 1.2MB/sec.
