I haven't actually read anything which says it /can/ do 4x yet. Just
that 4x media breaks it.
As per CD-R media, once a higher speed media becomes cheap, they drop
the lower speeds.
If you've got some evidence that says it can do 4x, please share.

What amazes me is these drives can *do* 4X DVD at all!! They were, after all,
advertised as 2X drives. I'm very surprised the drives weren't capped at that
speed, so they could turn around and sell a faster model later on (like
Lite-On, etc do with CD-R drives).
I seem to recall reading the DVD-R drives would "never" go beyond 2X due to the
manner the data was linked. It must have been another one of those published lies at
dvdplusrw.org ;-)

Subject: [Dvdrtools-users] Pioneer Burners and 4x Media
Just a warning - in case people have not seen it elsewhere, to visit
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/hs/pioneer.html and update
their firmware.
If not and soon to be released 4x DVD-R media is used, there
is a very
strong possibility of burning out the laser.
