DVD 1X Transfer rate = 1.38 MB/Sec.
DVD 2X Transfer rate = 2.76 MB/Sec
and so on...

2x DVD needs for a full 4.7GB disc ~ 30 - 40 minutes

If you want to buy one, I prefer Pioneer products, but they are a bit expensive :roll:

Rico. i just read somewhere Pioneer is releasing a new DVD recorder which burns 4 Gb of data in 15 Mins. todays norm is 4GB data = 30-40 Mins. the expected launch is at the end on Nov2002 (:edited:). Donno about the price though.

Me also thinking of getting one. Cant make my mind DVD RW or 9700. ultraflexx i know what u r gonna tell..or..yell. :lol:

I actually ordered a Pioneer DVR A05. Im not worried about the 2mb buffer, I can leave the computer alone while writing a DVD disc, since it takes about 15 minutes with 4XDVD. It's also over $80 cheaper, and I don't trust sony

One more thing, it has DVD/CD buffer under-run protection

A little update on this matter, my DVR-105 is SO great

I have burned over 50 DVD's now and none have failed!

I believe that Plextor and Asus recently introduced new dvd burners.
But i'm not sure. Pioneer is fine too though :P

If you are going to buy a DVD Burner you can put CDS, Burn CDS and can burn DVD. My friend has it so I got it from him. He told me this long time ago. I am going to get DVD Drive and a DVD Burner. DVD burner will cost a lot. But it is very good to be used.
