Among other pictures and a comment in japanese
you can even see this picture from the IFA in Berlin:





If you put the link in a babelfish translater the text starts with the following words:
« IFA 2005 report < 16 time fast DVD-RAM compilation >
Matsushita, Hitachi LG 16 time fast DVD-RAM drive sale within year
Hitachi マクセル and the like announces also 16 time fast media »

and beside the LG drive you can find a other photo of a Panasonic drive with "incredible" specifications:






Is 16x DVD-RAM burning to become soon also the fastest (and still the more reliable) way to burn Data on a ODD ??
Because I don't have the knowledge I will not make more comments on this
but I hope that somebdy here is able to do it ...
