As personal computers become media centers for many consumers, the new Pioneer internal DVR-2920Q and external DVR-X162Q DVD/CD writers allow users to take advantage of this exciting technology while expanding their entertainment collections with a tangible, familiar media that will maintain into the future, says Mark Ely, executive vice president of Strategy, Sonic Solutions. Jointly developed by Pioneer and Sonic Solutions, Qflix is an emerging DVD technology that gives consumers the opportunity to purchase licensed Hollywood films, and eventually TV shows, from CinemaNow, some of which have previously been unavailable at retail.

Besides featuring 20x write speed to DVD-R and +R, the internal DVR-2920Q and external DVR-X162Q writers boast Optimal Write Support, which recognizes the disc media and adjusts the drive’s write speed to ensure the highest quality digital preservation of vital files. The Pioneer internal DVR-2920Q and the external DVR-X162Q DVD/CD writers will begin shipping in October for a suggested price of US$69.99 and November for a suggested price of $114.99, respectively.
