297996 2004-11-29 22:30:00 Hi all,

I am purchasing a Dual Layer DVD writer, For the price these two drives the LG 4160 or the LiteOn 1633 look great, only $174 at Ascent. Anyone used either of these or can recommend the brand.

Thanks for your help

297997 2004-11-29 22:34:00 I would see what software they come with,I personally would take the Lite-on over the LG (to be honest i wouldn't buy any LG...) but was disapointed when mine was supplied without nero,and the oem version of Nero that came with my CD writer would not work with the DVD writer...... metla (154)

297999 2004-11-29 22:45:00 LiteOn here too. ~~~~~ s y ~~~~~ (2054)
298000 2004-11-30 00:29:00 I just bought the LG after advice from recent posts here & I can't fault it.
Written 32 DVD's & 22 CD's so far without a hitch
It also got the best reviews from roundups on quite a few sites

298002 2004-11-30 07:53:00 Well.. it's quite clear that LiteOn has being the perferred brand so far. But I just want to remind -with every and any brand, you will have a good batch and a bad batch. The bad batch of a good brand will be no better than the bad brand with a good batch. Brands don't necessarily say much -it is a generalised opinion. ~~~~~ s y ~~~~~ (2054)

298004 2004-11-30 09:25:00 Normally I'd be Lite-On all the way. Luckily, I read your question and the LG has been reviewed as one of the top DVD writers out there.

Therefore, I'll have to say LG.

Lo.

And the NEC ND 3500 is better for another $4, according to authorative sources who have done hours and hours of research, tossed a coin, didn't like the answer so asked users of this forum which one to buy ;)
