Nero Recode will only burn at 2.4x - media and burner is 4x...!

I was using recode 2 for the first time last night - was very impressed with every aspect of it, but I did notice when I did a Burn-At-Once back-up that even though I had 4x media it said it was burning at 2.4x. When I used to back-up with Shrink (burning of course with Nero) the speed would show up correctly. Since Shrink and Nero are very similar (being of the same brainchild) I would think this wouldn't be a problem.

It didn't seem to take much longer, but it just bothers me that it wasn't identifying the speed of the media properly, which is something Shrink never had a problem with...

Has anyone tried to do a Burn-At-Once back-up and noticed the same issue? Cause otherwise, I think this is a great app...!
 
It's not the media, which was Fuji DVD+RW 4X. I put in a Verbatim DVD+R 4x and it started to burn at 1X..!

Keep in mind these are only when I'm doing Burn-At-Once back-ups using Recode 2 - that is encoding and compressing and burning straight from the DVD to the media. It's reasonable that it would need to burn slower because of all that it's doing WITHOUT ripping to the hard drive first, but I just wanted to see if other people had noticed this. If it's a normal thing (and not a BUG), then that's okay because the quality of back-ups is awesome and its additional compression options are pretty sweet. A great app. to use for anyone who has used and loved DVD Shrink and has a full version of Nero 6.6.0.1.
FYI: it doesn't copy protected DVDs by itself but with DVD43 (freeware) or AnyDVD or DVD Region+CSS Free running in the background, Recode 2 works like a charm.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated about the Burn-At-Once issue, thanks...!
