Thats true, though there are reports that sony are working on an 8x drive as well. I don't see the DVR107 being released for another 4 months anyway. It will be released just before christmas. I think Pioneer have released that Sony are loosing out to them because of their very high prices. Pioneers are the best selling DVD Writers in the UK.

Hey i also have a brand new Pioneer 106 burner. I am having no problems at 4x with Verbatim DVD-R +R. The only thing i see is with the Nero time hack i see it write at 3.5x and have this error in the result log.

Sony is just a stupid company. I decided some months ago that I'll never buy anything where stands text SONY.
Reason? They use Key2Audio and lame copy protections on their audio CD's (Sony Music)...

I use DVD Decrypter to rip the entire movie in file mode and then use DVD Shrink 2.3 to remove the unecessary things i dont need to fit it in a DVD- or + R and use Nero 5.5 to burn it on the A06. I never see 4x i only see up to 3.6x. and the Queing errors in the log. Should i upgrade the firmware.
thanks,
Max

There hasnt been an RPC1 release yet on the firmware stage. Should be a blessing when it does come out. Come on Gradius, get your finger out lol

It will remove all region coding from your Drive enabling you to play/rip movies from other regins all the time without fear of the drive being permantently locked.

The Pioneer DVD-120 is ripping 1 layer up to 12x and 2 layer dvd's up to 10x. The liteon 166s rips the 1 layer up to 16X and single layer up to 11x. Not bad huh..
