Pioneer has announced two new DVD burner drives, the internal DVR-2920Q and external DVR-X162Q each of which will allow users to create DVDs from downloaded content found on the Qflix video download site.
Just like the Dell Qflix drives introduced last month, users will be given Qflix DVD Download & Burn technology that will turn the content to formats that can be read in all standalone players. These drives will also require special DVD+-R discs just as the Dell ones do.
Qflix uses the current 1000 movie CinemaNow library and the new drives will allow the users to write the CSS-protected content to disc for playback on standalone players.
The drives write DVD and CD at 16x and 48x respectively otherwise when not using Qflix.
Qflix-compatible DVD+-R still do not have a disclosed price but be do know that RiDATA and Roxio will be creating them.
The Pioneer DVR-2920Q is available now and sells for $70 USD and the DVR-X162Q will sell for $115 USD when it hits next month.
