Im thinking of buying a new internal dvd burner for my pc, with the prices dropping on dual format +/- on ebay and other places I thought it would be a good time to buy. I burn games and movies on my aunts comps using dvd Decrypter and dvd shrink so the programs arnt new to me. Shes got some crazy expensive Vaio and I dont have alot of money. My question is what should I be looking for to burn games and movies? And what would be a good place to buy one? Is the name brand important?
The three most highly rated dvd burners at the moment are the: 1. Pioneer 108 2. NEC3500 3. Plextor. These are not in order of the best as opinions vary. I burn all my dvd's with my Pioneer 107 at 8Xspeed. Pure quality, no coasters. I use a 2-sheep cd writer for copying games so that they are perfect everytime.
If you're wanting a DVD burner that will back up games you're best bet is to get either the Plextor PX-708A or the 712A. Not only are they two of the finest burners on the market but both a very capable at backing up PC games. The Lite-On 4xx and 8xx series are good at backing up games as well. True 2-sheep DVD burners are a rare breed and the ones I listed are the only ones that I'm aware of _X_X_X_X_X_[small] Got Indie? http://cdbaby.com/ My Movies! http://www.intervocative.com/dvdcollection.aspx/Rephaim Forum rules! http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2487[/small]
