Aren't they getting a little ahead of themselves? All the 8x media I've gotten have been early samples. Now 12x?

The standardization situation related to DVD was reported. The head of the Akira Taniguchi education of the pioneer Ltd. technology development headquarters home system Development Center optical disk system development department explained the standardization situation of 12 X speed DVD-R DL and DVD-RW DL.

I still haven't found any reason to use or buy DVD-RDL... especially with all the compatability issues the format suffers from, not to mention the huge price difference between DVD+RDL and DVD-RDL.

What does Japan see in this stuff???
