The A05 is a nice drive and supports up to x4 for DVD-R, so I can burn a DVD in under 15 minutes. Also supports DVD-RW up to x2, so 30 minutes for a full DVD-RW<br /><br />Nice and recommend them highly.

Now there latest writer supports -R, many think they are now comforming to the might of the DVD Forum (all the studios, manufacturers, etc are all members and set the standards).<br /><br />There are also reports of the so called 'better' format of +R being more compatiable, but 70% of first generation DVD players will play -R and NOT +R. Second generation players, the odds STILL favour -R.
