Full erase of a DVD-RW takes about 1 hour (in my measurments it varied: 53-56min) and is needed in case you want to use incremental writing on the medium. In this time you can not do anything to the drive and you can not use the other IDE device on the same bus:( I've seen no problem so far with full erase but I had problems with incremental writing when the drive was connected as slave on secondary IDE bus. Someone from Pioneer told me that there are no such known problems but the fact is that my drive behaves this way. I tested it on 2 computers. Maybe someone from list will try to connect the drive as slave and see if he can proper use incremental writing.
