Hey RJ... what's the difference.

S201PK Pioneer 1X DVD-R, 1350 kB/s, 4MB, SCSI, Ext.

A04SPK Pioneer 2X1X DVD-R/RW Writer, 1.38 MB/s, 2MB, 512K, 200ms, IDE, Int.


I'm not looking to buy, the reason I ask is the second one listed is $485 my cost from my distributor, the top one is $6515.00!!!!

Hi,

the second one - the A04 - is Pioneer's newest DVD-R/-RW recorder, supporting DVD-R for General and DVD-RW.

The first one - the S201 - burns DVD-R for Authoring. That's the difference. DVD-R(A) means $$$ and is for professional usage. DVD-R(A) contains some sectors that aren't available on the DVD-R(G) and which are used to write the Disc Description Protocol (DDP). DDP is needed if the DVD is meant to be a master dvd for mass production (to stamp other dvds). Also DVD-R(A) allows the use of CCE as far as I know.
Main reason for this was to avoid that Video DVDs can be copied 1:1 by the average user.

RJ

Thanks... been looking all over the place and didn't find much info. Knew there had to be something up for almost 14x the price.
