DVDRW?

[MTDEW]

Have a friend who wants to build a pc for recordeing music & dvds/cds as well as a tvtuner.

Im a gamer, if she wanted a gaming machine, I'd have no problem peicing together a system.

But I have absolutely no clue about DVDRW drives.

Isnt there 2 standards?
Whats the difference?

I mostly see drives that burn at 4x for dvd burning....how long does that take to burn a dvd?

Any suggestions for a good DVDRW/CDRW drive? (for a reasonable price of course)

Also, she said she was looking at the ATI Radeon 9000 All In Wonder, now from a gamers standpoint, i wouldnt touch that card...lol
But if your into a tvtuner and watching DVDs and doing some "light" gaming is this the card to get or is there a better "bang 4 buck" all in wonder kinda card out there?
