the max speed they can record at is like 2X
DVD-R's cost $10 each
and it will take hours to burn a DVD and if i were to make a coster of a dvd i could go crazy i get mad when i waste a reguar CD R

Where you hear that?

The media cost is cheaper than that. About $2 for a unbranded blank.

You must be thinking of DVD+R, which has those prices.

4.7GB burned on a DVD takes around an hour I think.

You're right, Avalon-Racer, in fact over here in the U.K. blank DVD-rs are as cheap as 40p (which is, i think about 70 cents)

(BTW, WWH - a DVD-R running at x2 is not the same as a CD-R running at X2)
