I was looking at this dvd burner and been reading here about that it has a pioneer drive in it so it seems like a good buy at $249.99. It doesn't list in the paper what speed it is but i guess the 2X burn speed is about it right now...just a question on burn speed,how long does it take to burn a full DVD? A 4.7 disk i'm not sure how much video time it holds, 2 hours maybe? So does it take 4 hours? Thanks....asking now before i buy..

A 1x drive burns a full disc in about 1 hour. A 2x drive on a 2x-compatible disc will burn it in 1/2 hour. It doesn't matter how long the video plays for; it could be 4.7GB of data files - it will take 60 minutes to burn the whole disc at 1x. I usually use the write and verify options when burning, so my times are doubled (120 minutes or 60 minutes).

I should have added - I bought the Cendyne back in April and it has worked extremely well. I've previously mentioned in a couple forums that it says Pioneer on the drive (nowhere does it say Cendyne). Only the inventory label on the box said Cendyne.

you guys are sure it a pioneer a04 clone? any proof. i'm not disagreeing with you... i'm hoping to get a A04 for my birthday and this would be sweet if this is the same drive.
could the a04 firmware be used on this drive?
anybody? sorry if i'm impatient but I think this deal is only good this week and i'd have to arrange it with my parents.
also is the dvr-104 the same as the CDICD00106 part number? -
Cendyne only market the drive and OEMed the drive, in this case from pio. there is no such thing as cloned. very few companies make dvd-r drives.
