Re: OT: Advice about CD RWs
The duty cycle is the amount of time it can burn cd's. Most std PC burners are 15m/hour. If you abuse the cycle, you will shorten the life of the burner.

Re: OT: Advice about CD RWs
That's why PC burners are $75 bucks and CD duplicators are $500.

Re: OT: Advice about CD RWs
How would this apply to, say, a 4x DVD burner? It takes quite some time to burn an entire DVD worth of data.

It would depend on the brand, look for it in the detailed specs (small print). DVD burners are usually much better built; cheap CD burners are made of the stuff that drops from dog butts.
