Conclusion
 

Conclusion:

Since this media is relatively fresh and new, it seems like this media could need some firmware improvement on certain drives, like the NEC-ND4550A. Therefore, before we speculate on this any further, we should wait and see what any new firmware updates will show us. 

All the successfully written Ricoh DVD+R DL 8x media was burned with the BookType DVD-ROM, and there were no problems reported during the playback on the PC-drives or standalone devices.

Thanks to:

Ricoh Europe BV (Germany) - for providing us the DVD+R DL 8x media - making this article possible.
