Upgraded to Firmware Beta A106, the drive will not burn this media at 16x but only at 4x.
Called Futureshop and they will replace the media with something else.

I have purchased this same media and had a similar issue with my LG GSA-4163B writer. The drive will only burn at 4x and not more. I've read at CDRInfo.com that this media is not compatible with this drive due to the manufacturer.
DVDinfo and Nero CD/DVD Speed read it as 1x-4x only.
Will supply the UPC/EAN on next comment. Will also try a beta version of A106.

Recognizes disks as 4X only, cannot go above 4X on this writer, will buy a BenQ drive soon- as my Pioneer has burned over 400 disks. Writer still works at 16X on some other media.

I just installed a new Benq re-writer and it is very fussy about the media. Wouldn't write on any Memorex dvd-r but would on the dvd+r. I was almost ready to take the re-writer back but wanted to try the Benq dvd-r media first. They all burn great! And will burn at 16X. I was surprized at the good picture quality at 16X. I'll be getting more of the Benq DVD-R blanks soon. Highly recommend them if you have a Benq re-writer. Haven't tried them on any other burner yet.

Tested with Nero Burning Tool to make sure they can be burned at 16X as advertised. They cannot be burned at 16X. They can be burned at 4X only.
