Sony has a new 12x DVD burner that burns DVDs in 6 minutes. The only bit of information I could find on it is over at www.gamersdepot.com

Glenn Gipson · June 8th, 2004, 01:29 PM

It is a little expensive for the average prosumer user, though...

Sooooo,
this means that a person who's thinking about making his own digital feature could rent one of these and travel with it, showing the finished product himself and save the cost of having it transfered to film. Hmmmmmmm....

Umm, but they're not that much faster...

Wouldn't that require 12X media? Isn't the fastest out
now 4X?

Gints Klimanis · June 9th, 2004, 06:08 PM

A number of people are using 4x media but burning at 8x speed.
I just received my Pioneer A07 burner and will report how it uses my existing stack of Ritek 4x DVD-R.

I was one of the unfortunates who bought the first run of the rt2000 card.

Never again.

For me, software based solutions work very well, and with the ability to setup a render farm, proprietary accellerator cards seem unecessary.

As the HD product lines shake out, I'm hoping to stay with a simple i/o card and software nle.

IN their defense. Part of the problems with Matrox cards was traced to VIA chipsets (266, 333). Matrox finally had to expose them even though they were loath to do so.
Subsequently I seriously doubt if I ever buy another mobo with a VIA chipset on it again. My audio apps were affected to.

Many thought it was AMDs fault. But that cleared up when the 2nd generation of Nividia chipsets came out. LIve and learn is a very expensive outlook on life.

Canon did a make over on all there sites several days ago.

Keith Loh · June 19th, 2004, 10:34 PM

My favourite part of the new Canon website is that all of its links to its manuals and docs redirect you to nowhere in particular.

Just like before, there are still more than 60 separate images to load on that main page. I'm glad I'm not on a dial-up, but satellite access isn't much better.
