Pioneer Electronics has announced the DVR-A07 DVD/CD writer with support for both -R and +R DVD recordable formats.
The DVR-A07 is the world's first 8x8 dual format writer, meaning it is capable of writing at 8x speed on DVD-R discs whose standard is being ratified in the DVD Forum and +R discs that are designed for this recording speed. The new drive also records high-speed DVD-RW and +RW discs at up to 4x speed, and CD-R and CD-RW discs at up to 24x speed. By supporting the DVD Forum's DVD-R and DVD-RW disc formats as well as the +R and +RW formats, Pioneer is helping to eliminate format confusion, which has become a growing problem for potential buyers.
"With the launch of the industry's first "8x8" dual format writer, Pioneer is once again putting the needs of the user at the top of our priority list," said Andy Parsons, senior vice president of industrial video and mass storage sales and marketing at Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. "The DVR-A07 will save users valuable time by writing DVD and CD discs as fast as recordable DVD technology allows at this point. It also lets users focus on writing DVDs instead of worrying about which disc format they need to buy."

Note:
Plextor was actually first to attain 8x DVD recording but for only a single format not dual, they must be on the verge of indoducing a new burner, who knows they may just come out with 16x!
