It's a 2x Burn Speed for DVDs. I think that means the 1 hour disc would take 30 minutes to burn. At $5 a disc, I wouldn't risk using the computer at the same time. That's an expen…

Head over to www.cd-recordable.com DVD-R's are $2.99 a piece....Even come with Jewel Cases and work GREAT in the new iMac! -Matt

I burned a full DVD in DVD Studio Pro the other day on a 933 G4 tower and it took about 50 minutes to render the disk and burn it.

Also, the DVD-RW drives in the new iMacs (104) do have Burn-Proof, so you should be OK to multitask. (this is straight from Pioneer's website.) -Matt

It sounds like no one who posted has actually burned a DVD. I've made two 40 minute home movie DVDs and they took 2-2.5 hours on an iMacG4/800 with nothing else running. You need…

After I posted the date kicked back to 6/1990 after the servers were down for a while. I'm posting again to bring the date current so people can continue to get to this post.

i have an iMac G4 800mhz and it takes me 30minutes to burn a 90minute dvd...however the time it takes to import and compress it is a b****.

Quote: 1x means as fast as the source, so 60 minutes is 60 minutes. 2x is twice as fast, or 30 minutes. This is why the number increases as newer models come out. By yo…

Right. He was talking about encoding time. It is about double what the source is. I find that as well. Here, we are talking about burn time and the speeds of the burner (1x, 2x…

Personally I think there is no need for that... It works well as it is. There has never been any confusion like that. There just isn't enough traffic through there to warrant "beig…

I dunno. Just wanted to start fresh. I dont like posting in "hot" threads, because no one reads the posts at the bottom of them.

I agree. Say good bye to the mp3 forum, but definitely keep the DV forum.

Does anyone know of a TV tuner (USB or PCI) for a Quicksilver G4 that's compatible with OSX? Also, what kind of bandwidth does a USB TV tuner (I'm assuming 30fps) take up? Would i…

I second this question!!! I heard about something from ATI, but other than that, I know nothing.
