This topic is coming up lately. Could be the price breaks, so people are thinking about it. So am I. Here's something I lifted from another list. "The difference between CDR speeds and DVD speeds is for CDR speeds each 1x = 150KB sec for DVDs each 1x = 1353KB sec. So 4x would be for CDs (4X150 = 600KB sec) and 4x for DVDs (4x1353 = 5,412KB sec or 5.4MBps) So recording DVD is much faster than CDR recording since DVD drives have a higher storage capacity of 4.7 GB single-sided as opposed to CDR 600 - 800MB single-sided and need a much higher bandwidth for packet writing." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
