Yea they need to focus in on DVD drive now and come up with a standard to get the prices down.
I'm still waiting for a standard to get approved.
I want to burn some home movies with my digital camcorder.
Enough of the speed which only shaves a few seconds off anyway.
Whoever starts pumping out a faster DVD at a lower price will make a killing.

I read a article somewhere were most companies are pretty much done making faster CDR writing speeds. The fact is that there is very little time shaved off in recording and they are worried about cdr breakage.
Is that a prediction just on price? I would say less than $150 for a decent one, one probably will be able to find cheap ones for less than that.
Or is that also a prediction that DVD-R will win vs. DVD+R? I haven't been following which one is winning, so I can't make that prediction.

I still have my Yamaha 3200E (24x10x40x) that I bought for 200 dollars a few days after it came out. It can do a full cd in under 4 minutes. The fact that cd burners can't burn at full speed until the outter edges of the cd makes it not worth the upgrade. I agree in that, until a cd-burner can do a cd in under a minute without burning a hole through the cd, then i'll be interested. I am still waiting for DVD burners to become way way way way way more affordable. Also while I am replying here, anyone know if the Yamaha 3200E's Firmware is compatible with the new Yamaha CD-RW's firmware? Thanks! ;-)

How fast does this thing burn a cd?
I burn a cd at 12x and it takes only 7 mins. and that's a 700MB disc...
The theoretical yield is 12x150kb = (1800kb/s)
(700MB * 1024kb) = 716800kb/ 1800kb/s = 398 seconds ~ 6 min 30 sec Which is on the money with my burner so,
if 52x150kb/s = 7800kb/s
Then 700MB * 1024kb = 716800kb/7800kb/s = 92 seconds! ~ 1 min 32 secs?
is this true?
Cause I know alot of people that can't burn with a 40x to get under 3 mins. Is there something wrong with my calculations or is it the IDE interface that messes up the theoretical yield?

i'll take one. 🙂 but i won't shell out any more money till they get this dvd burning crap figured out and get them cheap.
The last compelling CD writing speed increase was 24x. Since then, it has all
been modest incremental improvements in speed that really kick in only for long
source CDs.
On top of that, last week I was at a dinner party and spoke at length with someone
who is intimately involved in CDR blank manufacture and distribution. He told me
that 24x is the absolute fastest speed he recommends to anyone writing CDs
for any important/archival purpose. His quote: "Given the deficiencies of
the burners and the properties of the CD blanks, ALL our tests show that
if you go beyond 24x you risk creating discs with substantial errors. These results
hold across every manufacturer and every brand of blank. " He added that
Plextor and Sanyo manufactured drives do better in their tests than anyone
else's).
If you have a 24x burner you're happy with, I can't see any reason to upgrade
again until you replace it with a DVD-R(+/-/whatever) drive, unless you want
entree into the BSD club.
