Speaking of difference between various DVD writers, you can see the results of the write speed tests conducted with the recent 16x DVD writers. "YMMV" indeed.

Makers should be honest with us and change statements like "Writes at 16x" to "Writes at up to 16x." And maybe add this disclaimer: "Your mileage may vary"... <<< If you are interested in the ~1yr old tests for older 16x writers: http://www.tomshardware.com/2004/11/02/10_dvd_burners/ Igor
