BoKingWen, does your friend have a dvd burner???? has he ever attempted to burn a dvd yet???
at 1x (3-4megs per sec) it takes 56 minutes to burn. and the pioneer drive can burn a dvd-r (not dvd-rw) at 2x... so in 30 minutes, roughly.
I made a test last nite on mine (dvd-rw, which came in the package). Copied a anime dvd (Ranma1/2 season 3, disc 3) straight from another dvd drive, with Primo dvd software, which does not come in the package, by the way.
Primo dvd showed that it would only take 56 minutes to burn.
I hope this answers your question and prompts you to reconsider.
