Plextor Europe released a detailed list with the recommended DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW and DVD-RW media for the upcoming PX-712A ATAPI 12x DVD burner, available in May. Currently the drive supports only three media brands for DVD+R recording at the maximum 12x, while the 8x DVD-R compatibile media list is longer. In case of DVD-R, it seems that the 4x media will not be burned at 8x. Of course these issues are controlled by firmware so we expect this list to change soon.
