[j@cko]

What's the fastest drive and how long does it usually take to burn a full DVD disc on average?

 

[EKAtBzboyz]

dvd-rw is like 2x burn i believe
dvd+rw is like 2.4x burn

i think i rememebr seeing a drive with 4x burning....maybe it was the new sony drive supporting dvd-rw/dvd+rw

either way about 30-45min per dvd4 disc

//edit
some more i found
"DVD-R will record DVDs at a maximum speed of 2.73 MBps. DVD+R records DVDs at a maximum speed of 3.32 MBps. All of the DVD recorders mentioned below can also record to CD media. DVD-R burners record at a maximum 8x speed. DVD+R will record to CD media at a maximum of 12x. "

Sony DRU500A supports 4X DVD-R burning. However, 4X DVD-R isn't out until next month. About then the new Pioneer A05 should be out too.

Check my sig.

So, theoratically, 4X burning will only takes 10~15mins?

you lookin at a bit higher, more like 40 min or so, depending on the size of the disc.

Remember, its not 700 mb your into gigs

4.3 GBs should take 15 minutes at 4X. My 1X drive takes 1 hour. 4X means 4X, which is equivalent to about 37X in CD-R terms. (Unlike on a CD-RW, where 32X only means 20 something X.)
