Just saw this little tidbit from yesterday and thought it was worth mentioning, although there’s very little in the way of details. The gist (actually, the whole of the information available) is that Pioneer and TDK are collectively developing a DVD-R capable of burning a disc in two seconds. Two seconds. Mommy?

We got this sort of wrong. It’s not a home recorder; it’s a plant to make blank DVD-Rs.

I noticed that the news, “Burn a DVD in Two Seconds”, is already officially
announced at Tohoku Pioneer’s web site (in Japanese).

Actually, they developed a factory machine to manufacture DVD-R discs.
This machine is not to “burn a DVD in two seconds” but create one 16x DVD-R
in 2 seconds. The manufactured DVD-R is 16x, so you will take more tahn 2
seconds to burn full media.
