I was unsure about this whole process as well, but I assure you, the DVR-A03 is great. I also had a 2x CD-RW a long time ago (before my more recent ones) and got nervous about the whole "2x" thing. After making a DVD image onto your hard-drive (maybe 15min.) you can burn the Global Image to a blank DVD in about 30min... That's quick, as bckloon has stated, considering a DVD is 4.7gb as opposed to 650-700mb.
