Pioneer's DVR-A05 DVD Burner doubles writing performance compared to earlier Pioneer models (the DVR-A03, DVR-A04) with 4X DVD-R, 2X DVD-RW, 16X CD-R and 8X CD-RW capabilities.  The new 4X DVD-R recording speed translates into approximately 15 minutes to fully record a high-speed 4.7 GB DVD-R disc.  The DVR-A05 also offers two-minute quick formatting for DVD-RW data discs, and allows finished DVD-RW discs to be "unfinalized" for writing additional data files.  Blank 4X DVD-R and 2X DVD-RW discs are also included with the drive, as well as DVD authoring and basic DVD burning software.
