There are 8x +R/RW drives already, which is probably where the confusion
comes from, although IIRC no "official" 8x media. +/- is irrelevant in PC
hardware now anyway, since every company makes a dual format burner.

Thanks for the help. I was also wondering if I bought one in the us
would that screw everything up. Dont know when ntsc and pal take
effect when writing a disk.Does the software that comes with the
pioneer provide any editing facilities?

It does not matter if you buy in US (unless it is an external drive). All
new drives are RPC-2 which is they would only allow you to change the
region 5 times and then lock permanently. You can download firmware to make
the drive RPC-1 (unlimited changes) from the firmware page (google is your
friend). Coding in PAL or NTSC is a function of the software you use for
making your films or videos. All DVD drives can play ntsc or pal discs
(unless they are region locked).

Do region locked ones care what format the picture is?
