Really? First off, I have read review after review of 1-2G DVD+RW drives that show 2.4x drives are CAV, at least performance-wise. I'll have to hit some engineering specifications to confirm/deny. Secondly, so maybe I assumed that 4x was CAV also, but maybe it's CLV instead? I was under the impression that beyond CLV was impossible beyond 2x, but I could be incorrect. Maybe these new 2G DVD-RW and 3G DVD+RW drives are capable of higher CLV speeds. > > DVD-RW > > kernel rewrite patch > ^^^^^ where? I'm not aware of such thing.

I'll change that into a note for the Sony then. -- Bryan J.
