| 423048 | 2006-01-21 23:51:00 | I want to buy A DVD RW. I have been doing a bit of research on various types/brands etc. but so far I cant decide. I prefer the quality option rather than price. Anyone have any recomendations. Ian |

Ill be using it mostly for video and Data backup . Ian DVD-ram isnt too bad but not many external DVD players support it . Its not that important . Lightscribe does the same as a cd printer, it prints text / graphics on the cd . (Only in B&W, I think, not colour) . Except, with Lightscribe the burner burns the text/graphics onto the cd for you . And this can take some time . ie: You burn whatever, then u flip the cd over to burn the label . Any dual layer DVD burner, will deal with video, and data . And will do what a normal cd writer will do . Only diff is, it lets you burn to DVD and watch DVD's . |

| 423054 | 2006-01-22 02:32:00 | I installed a Pioneer 16x16 DL drive a while back - excellent - other good brands: LiteOn, Sony, Asus(tek) DVD-RAM is like a re-writeable DVD except that it is used (written/read) differently than normal optical discs - it is designed to be much more reliable than the DVD-RW format for high use applications - not really essential unless you really want to trust your RW media . DVD-R/+R DL is dual/double layer which gives over 8GB per DVD side - discs are expensive and currently only write once - an advantage if you want to write full legnth movies to DVD . . . |

DL discs are really only useful for playing full legnth movies in DVD players - that $7/9 per disc is gonna stack up pretty quickly... |
