i have a fast computer with a dvd-rom and plenty of space. ive had my eye on the pioneer a04 or a05 and im planning to buy one of the two, but...
all i do is decrypt a dvd, and burn it? am i missing a step here? it just sounds too easy.
any help would be appreciated.

Oh yes cheezzz.

I have got my eye on that one, seems like pioneer and sony are going head to head with the dual format options - be interesting to see who comes out on top......

Seems like sony is ahead since they pioneered (what a pun) the dual format. They have already established themselves IMO.

Is being able to burn +R and -R that big of an advantage over regular burners?

It all depends on what you want your burner for.

-r gives you constant bitrate and once only burning. (good if you just want straight burns)

+r gives you variable bitrate (upto 240mins at present) and various editing options software dependent of course.(good if you want to edit dv/camcorder/tv etc)

Good choice HP !!
I have the HP200i DVD+r/+rw and I am very very satisfied with it.
Made 50+ DVD movie copies and about 85+ PS2 game copies.

I guess the HP300i can burn at 4x speed.
