| Just wondering. We have been at 16X for the longest time. I am about to pick up a few Pioneer 116D's. | ||

| If you primarily use standalone DVD recorders, you pray every night that there won't be yet another damned change in blank media that will render your machine useless. If you primarily use a PC for burning, apparently every second of your life spent waiting for a burn makes you mental and you pray for faster media. At this point I think both camps have reached parity because media mfrs are totally "over" catering to price-conscious, fickle consumers. Nearly every brand name is now subcontracting its media to the gigantic CMC oem factories, which are making more-or-less the same discs for everybody. So 16x is probably end game for mass-marketed DVD media, especially since many new burners can successfully push it closer to 20x anyway. Diminishing returns??? | ||

| Why does it need to be faster? I can burn 16x Verbs at 20x with a Pioneer 115 and they play flawlessly. | ||

| If I'm not wrong I read something, a week ago, about some company (maybe Sony) going for 22x.
Will try to find it. | ||

| The discs can't withstand much higher speeds:

| 1x = ~55-60 min
2x = ~25-30min 4x = ~15 min 6x = ~11 min 8x = ~7 min 12x = ~6 min 16x = ~5 min 18x = ~5 min 20x = ~4.5 min Going faster maybe shaves 10-30 seconds at most. Only the outermost few hundred MB is going that fast. And at those rotational speeds, the margin for error increases exponentially. |
