Philips announces high speed 4x DVD+R/+RW drive, DVDRW424

Thanks to Kenshin we can inform you that Philips has announced a new DVD+R(W) recorder, the DVDRW424. The drive will offer 4x writing speed on both DVD+RW and DVD+R media:


The DVDRW424 allows consumers to record their home videos, photo albums and PC data on a 4.7 Gbyte DVD in less than 15 minutes. The drive features a 4x write/rewrite speed on DVD+R and DVD+RW discs, a 8x DVD read speed, 24x CD recording and 10x for CD rewriting, making it one of the most versatile drives on the market.

Key Features:

  • 4x DVD+R write and 4x DVD+RW rewrite speed
  • 8x DVD read speed
  • 24x CD-R write speed
  • 10x CD-RW rewrite speed
  • 40x CD read speed
  • Mount Rainier compliant for DVD and CD writing with the simplicity of a floppy disk


    • According to the press release mass production of the Philips DVDRW424 drive will start in June. Let's hope that our previous newspost on Philips DVD-recorder bugs don't apply to this DVDRW424 drive..

    The Philips DVD recorder bugs are mainly about standalone DVD-Video recorders rather than the PC writer drives like Philips DVDRW208, DVDRW228, DVDRW424, and so on. Smilie
