Let's say you're trying to burn off a normal 70 minutes onto a cd

As the speed at which a CD burns is determined by a lot more than just the speed of the burner (also the speed of the PC, the type of files, the amount of available RAM memory and har drive space) there is not one answer to the question.
What the numbers mean: the first is the space at which the CD drive can read CDs. The second is the speed at which it can write CDs. The third is the space at which it "rewrites" CD-RWs.
With a write speed of 24, and assuming that you are moving data files, you will probably be able to burn a CD in about 4-8 minutes.
If you are making a music CD, and it has to convert between formats, etc., it can take longer. Up to 30 minutes if there are a lot of songs and it has to convert them all. (Actually, it is the converting, not the burning, that takes the time).

40x24x40 is the ratio of minutes of content to minutes of burn time; in this case, theoretically you could burn 40 minutes in 1:00.
So, you could theoretically burn 70 minutes in 1:45, or one minute 45 seconds. I say theoretically, because the burner still has to burn the file tables, etc. All told, it would probably take you 3-4 minutes to burn a 70 minute CD.

x refers to 150kbps
40x means it writes in the speed of 40 X 150 kilobytes per second
