| 340159 | 2005-04-01 03:51:00 | I use the ASUS 1604P burner myself. Altho, I havent used DL dvds on it yet. Just normal DVD's. |

| 340160 | 2005-04-01 04:03:00 | I wouldnt specifically look for Dual-Layered.... I bought a Toshiba/Samsung TS5552 or something (I dont even like it) and its supposed to be a pretty respectable writer. Its incredibly picky about the media it uses.... It sucks in comparison to my cheapo Optorite DD0201 single-layered 4x DVD+/-RW which burns perfectly with pretty much all media :) |

| 340161 | 2005-04-01 04:08:00 | Whatever NEC is the current model, the Pioneer actually uses the NEC chip with their own firmware and board. These days, you'll be hard pressed to buy a reasonabley good DVD drive which does not have dual layer, of course you don't have to use that capability. |

| 340162 | 2005-04-01 04:19:00 | $130 will get you a Benq 1620 with Nero. What extra do you get by paying any more? | PaulD (232) | ||

If you are going to play games on this PC - make sure the wriiter is a 2 sheep writer . Otherwise it can have trouble reading certain copy protections . The Pioneer and Liteon are 2 sheep - don't know about the Sony . Asus is only 1 sheep . (The sheep refers to a standard used by CloneCD - its just how good it reads the protection - nothing to do with lamb chops) |

| 340164 | 2005-04-01 04:23:00 | LG are good. Last time I looked the benq was the pick of the bunch though. But I don't like benq. | Jeremy (1197) | ||
| 340165 | 2005-04-01 04:40:00 | Why don't you like Benq? Reputations are only useful for the current product because everything can change for better or worse. Give some brands a few months and the actual manufacturer can change several times. | PaulD (232) | ||

But to be fair I've had nothing but very good results from other Samsung products. Yeah the burner is very fussy on media and even then it's up and down on quality. Question for Chill, I've found imation and even the SKC from the Warehouse to give reasonable results. What have you used and tried?? I'm thinking I'll ditch the Samsung. So its not getting the vote from me. Cheers John. |
