This probably will never find its way to the U.S. market. But it's interesting to see what Pioneer is up to in Japan:
http://www.pioneer.co.jp/press/release149.html
200 GB hard drive.
DVD-R DL media support (The DVD Forum approved the DVD-R DL media in February and it will be manufactured by Verbatim).
New MPEG encoder that includes a 15 mbps XP+ setting for recording to the hard drive, or up to 24 hours recording in lowest-quality to on DVD-RW DL disc.
Copy photos from digital cameras to the hard drive and burn DVD slide shows.
Copy audio CDs to the hard drive for play back.

This may find it's way to North America but will it be able to compete with recorders expected out in September that can record High Definition TV? The 15 MB/s would be about right but DL will be too small to record much content.

obviously you dont have much of an understanding of dvd. although the limit its about 5mbps lower than what is recorded to the dvd does not mean it is impossible to record 15mpbs mpeg2 video in a "dvd wrapper".. i just extracted a 1 minute segment from a ufc dvd (i had it on the hdd), encoded it to CBR mpeg2 video @ 15,000kbps. dropped it in to TDA (with a 256kbps ac3 track), outputted to dvd files, made an iso with img tool, & burned with dvd decrypter.
it played smoothly in an old symphonic dvd player i have in the office here.. although i'm pretty sure it wouldnt play or choke quite a bit in most dvd players, there are some dvd players that can handle the high bitrate just fine.. there are hollywood dvd's released all the time that are outside of dvd spec that play just fine in 99% of dvd players, they're just slightly out of spec though.. but the point remains, just because its outside of spec doesnt mean "there's nothing that could play it". -

5) you = make a feeble attempt to cover what you said
6) me = buries you.
lets just end it here, i think everyone knows the truth now. -
Hey, lumis, it was I who wrote "There's nothing that could play it if it did." Why are you giving Synery the credit for my statement? I'm perfectly willing to take full credit for any stupid thing I write.

well i wasnt paying that good of attention, but he took the ball and ran with it. :P

this is the kind of unit I need with the 2 step dubbing process. This would eliminate the guess work and optimize recording boxing matches that can last an hour or 3 hours. Too bad it's only in Japan and late May(probably a high price too).

I can't see anything about DVD-RW DL in that press release? Only DVD-R DL... Or am I blind?

"Impressive new Pioneer recorder in Japan"
it always cracks me up when the arguments in forum posts degrade to such nonsensical childish rubbish. Keep it simple guys.
The fact is simple, the dvd spec's are there so we have a standard that will play in all players.
whether or not the higher bitrate will play is up to the individual player.Some people are only alive because it may be illegal to kill them -

how much is this unit going for in US currency? would it have an english mode and can it be used in US sockets? i think its garbage of pioneer to release this in japan, and release a new line of rehashed old line for US. the new models coming out in US just have larger HDD's or a tv guide (who cares).
