yes. 2x-4x dvd-r's/+r's will BURN at that speed on DVD-R drives in computers. Realtime recorders, like the above DMR-E30, and the newer E50, E60, etc will only burn at 1x, so it is pointless buying the faster discs. Also, be aware, 4x dvd-r's can physically damage an older 1x/2x burner - most notably Pioneer-branded burners.

On a PC, the difference is very obvious. 1x dvd's (full 4.5 gigs) takes about 49 minutes, 2x takes about 25 minutes, and 4x takes about 13 minutes.
