Pioneer blazing trail for DVD burning
Pioneer Electronics wants to make the holiday season fly by for DVD fanatics. The Long Beach, Calif.-based division of Tokyo's Pioneer on Thursday announced a new combination DVD-CD recordable/rewritable drive for PCs that cuts the time it takes to record a full-length DVD or CD in half. The new DVR-A05 drive trumpets speeds that double those of Pioneer's previous generation of internal drives: 4X DVD-R and 16X CD-R for "recordable" DVD and CD formats, which allow for onetime recording only, and 2X DVD-RW and 8X CD-RW for the rewritable formats, which let consumers record over unwanted data. The 4X DVD-R speed means that it will take drive owners only about 15 minutes to record enough data to fill a standard 4.7GB DVD-R disc, Pioneer Electronics said.

I really want one of those, but I think I'm gonna wait a little longer and maybe they will get it up to 8x or 10x. 4x just seems so slow, and I have serious doubts that this one can actually record 4.7 gigs in 15 minuets.
