What is the difference between 1x 2x 3x and so on dvd roms?
For what little I know this dvd rom I bought is a 6x. next to a little home work I see lower X dvd roms running next to the same cpu I own which is a pentium 2. My goal be to play the ocassional dvd when out and about and some music cd.s
SO lend a hand educate me on the different numbered X's of dvd roms. Especially keeping within mind I am running a lowely pentium 2
Answers:
That's the speed that the disk records.
1x is the speed that the DVD player can read. So 6x money that it can write 6 times faster than it can read.
Now this might sound eccentric, but the idea of the x come out for video Discs, so what I ment was that if you have a video playing from a DVD that was 60 minutes long, next you burned a copy of the video with duplicate player and it was a 2x player it could burn the video which is 60 minutes long within 30 minutes.
60 minute video = 1x
dvd player/burn writes at 2x
60/2 = 30
Now you also have to see that your discs can burn that brisk, if not the burner will write at the Disc's unmatched speed.
It has presently changed to which a DVD player can read hiigher than 1x, so x just medium the speed of video playback.
Edit:
What I said works with everything. Printed DVDs, DVD-Rs, DVD-ROMs. Players, and Burners.
So if you hold a 6x DVD-ROM than it can be read 6 times faster than DVD Video Playback.
