v4-authored DVD loads faster

Just authored/burned my first project in DVD-A 4. It seems to load much faster than was typical with v3. Anyone else finding similar results. I have not done a direct comparison of the same project authored separately in v3 and v4 to be sure.

If v4 DVDs do indeed load faster in set-top players, I was thinking this could mean the problem of DVD-A 3 creating two unreferenced streams has been fixed.

Upon further testing, I think what I saw was a mirage. The same disc in another set-top player took the usual long time--about 40 seconds to load. And the same disc was not even recognized on my laptop by WMP, WinDVD4 or VLC.

The disc is a Taiyo Yuden -R 8x injet printable.
