[THROWIN]

I have a newbie sort of question.

When I dub in high speed mode it doesn't seem to matter if I have a 4x or 1x DVD disc. They both dub at about the same speed. I thought the 4x was supposed to dub faster?

Thanks in advance.

You were probably confused by the Panasonic marketing claims which are not based on the physical speed of the drive.


The E80 only supports 1x dubbing to DVD-R (2x to DVD-RAM). A 1x high speed dub of a 2 hour SP recording will take about an hour to dub to DVD-R and 30 minutes to dub to DVD-RAM. So you only need to buy 1x disks. Although the 2x and 4x will still work.


The E100 does dub at 4x to DVD-R.
