RE: [Dvdrtools-users] Pioneer Burners and 4x Media

[Scott Prive]

Thanks.

What amazes me is these drives can *do* 4X DVD at all!! They were, after all, 
advertised as 2X drives. I'm very surprised the drives weren't capped at that 
speed, so they could turn around and sell a faster model later on (like 
Lite-On, etc do with CD-R drives).

I seem to recall reading the DVD-R drives would "never" go beyond 2X due to the 
manner the data was linked. It must have been another one of those published 
lies at dvdplusrw.org ;-)
