| 742973 | 2009-01-29 21:06:00 | I wouldn't care about lightscribe or burn speed. Burn quality for me is first and foremost most important. From when I was researching dvd burners a few years ago, Pioneer, NEC and Benq had the best burn quality. |

| 742974 | 2009-01-29 21:22:00 | I love Lightscribe, and use it to name all my CD's I burn. Although it does not burn in colour - only in a brownish tinge, you can play around to create CD covers to your heart's content. Excellent. sarel |

| 742976 | 2009-01-29 22:32:00 | Have a read here: www.cdrinfo.com :) Looking at some of the model numbers of the hardware, the testing was done quite awhile ago and the conclusions are probably outdated. |

| 742978 | 2009-01-30 00:01:00 | The car you drive today has 4 wheels - so did the car originally built by Henry Ford. What is your point? :) My point is that a conclusion based on testing the Model T wouldn't be relevant to modern cars. Rather than "nit pick", why not do your own research, and read some other forums. Try this for starters: club.cdfreaks.com That link contains a quoted article on compatibility that states that on their own -/+ are about the same WRT stand alone player compatibility but DVD+R can be "Bit set" to appear as a DVD-ROM and that further improves its playability. Some burning programs do this by default on writers that can do this. Why not read your own research? |

| 742980 | 2009-01-30 00:51:00 | I have two Asus burners. One is IDE and the other is SATA. Both can and do use Lightscribe. No noticable difference between the two as to speed as I normally burn at 4x rather than Max anyway to make sure I don't end up with a coaster. Some time back I bought an HP Lightscribe writer and it failed. The replacement HP also failed so I got an Asus instead. That one is still going after three years in a mates' computer. I recently bought a Canon printer that will print labels on CDs but I have not yet used that feature. I may get around to it but I can't really see the point in doing so as the printer will no doubt use ink and the Lightscribe doesn't. |

An opinion is just that and I, for one, am selective about whom I take advice from. |

| 742982 | 2009-01-30 01:23:00 | lightscribe is just a gimmick, mine does lightscribe but I prefer the inkjet printed CD/DVD's they look better and are just as simple to do. CD/DVD's done in Lightscribe are not as easy to read as Inkjet printed ones. SATA for sure. My latest two M/Boards only have one port for IDE which can handle two devices, unlike earlier boards that can do 4, my guess is that IDE will be gone altogether on future boards in favour of SATA. As to +R or -R I mainly use +R but not always. DL +R works fine. I also use RW's for some things that I might not want to keep, but DL RW's are hard to get in NZ. Pioneer, Philips and Mitsubishi produced some, but they are still scarce. |
