ok, you might find these sites helpful:

secondly, I take it that the Pioneer 106 is your DVD burner, not a 106 DVD ROM. So this should be your drive: http://www.pioneeraus.com.au/computer/dvdwriters/dvr106/index.html

Writes:
DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD-R, CD-RW
DVD-R 4x*, DVD-RW 2x*
DVD+R 4x, DVD+RW 2.4x
CD-R 16x
CD-RW 10x
*Requires certified media

>>burn speeds are 1x in nero i set it to max or 4x default

well, it looks that it's a DVD writer, so that's perfectly fine, don't forget that a DVD 1x is around 9x CD speed.

If you want to, you can put on a "Pioneer DVR-106 v1.07 RPC-1 + 2xDVD-R + 12xRip" this firmware will make your DVD ROM region free (RCP1).
