Regarding a cdrw: What does: "4x / 4x / 24x" mean? What's the functional
difference between the "24x", above, and "32x"? If many of the cd drives
are
"40x", is a cdrw with either of the two specs above limiting which cd
drives
will recognize the disks I'll create?
Regarding dvd: Is "8X/32X" the current standard?
(snip)
4x\4x\24x @ 150k per equals:
600k/sec rewritable media speed (CDRW disc must support 4x to write at
this speed reliably)
600k/sec recordable media speed (CDR disc must support 4x ... etc.)
3600k/sec read speed (this is not the physical speed, but the buffered
speed allowing bursts
of data transfer at this rate)
Also, 2x rewritable discs can be found for just a little more than cd
recordables: Kodak is excellent.
4x rewritable discs are much more and supported by fewer brands.
As far as DVD, 5th generation 10x/40x Pioneers are the newest, but like CD's
they play a given
"movie" at the speed it was recorded at - 1x or 2x for example. So I
wouldn't call it a standard.
Last DVD 8x is a much higher rate than a CD at 8x.
