Is there a 4x Dual Layer DVD Burner Available?

[pcmodem]

Anyone seen a 4x dual-layer (8.0 or 8.5 GB) DVD burner?

Fastest I've seen is 2.4X, which is still too slow in my book.



Thanks,

I believe the new Pioneer or NEC or something like that is a 4X DL, I don't know how readily available it is yet, but as it's been brought up by others, it's still nearly impossible to even get 2.4X DL media, and I'm pretty sure the 4X stuff doesn't exist yet. I have a hacked DL Lite-on which will last me until 16X +R and 4X DL media is readily available.

As people have already pointed out, the OEM Pioneer 16x (4x DL) is available right now and I believe NEC has just announced their own 16x (4x DL) will soon be available.

I'll just wait until 8x Dual Layer is avaliable and media is cheaper.

I'll just wait until 8x Dual Layer is avaliable and media is cheaper......about six to eight months.
