8x media at 12x?

[Deceiver]

I have a bunch of 8x cdr media unused. I've burned a few disks at 12x and seem to have no problems. Will I encounter problems later on with the disk life span or other problems if i continue burning this media at 12x?

possible, but i know people who have gone through entire spindles of 4x, burning it at 12x and have had zero problems. I doubt you will run into problems unless they are crap brands to begin with...

They are Imation cdrs

I've been burning at 12x onto 8x Maxell and Fuji media here at work. Doesn't seem to cause a problem. I don't know about the longevity of the data, tho.

Imations are known for their qualtiy media. their cd-rs are no different.

Should be fine... Most 12x rated media is exactly the same as 8X rated media.

You should have no problem. I've burned 4x Imation cd's at 12x just fine.
