    hi budds
    can we used 2 different brands of DVD Writer in a single pc
    like Asus and Sony?
    or there will be any conflict during burning process?

    Clarifying.

    You didn't really ask a proper question. Rather, you made a statement and put a question mark at the end of it.

    ". . . .or there will be any conflict during burning process? "

    Answer: No.

    no .. just to confuse the issue even more

    you can use any thing you like so long as the wires fit.

    Yes, you can use two different brand burners on the same PC. Your "fixation error" was probably due to using the worng disc with the wrong burner, firmware incompatibility.

    You'll have best chances using Verbatim DL and ImgBurn.

    hehehe.. I just sat and looked at this desktop to see.. burners..

    benq
    philips
    HP (matsushika)
    goldstar

    and hdd's quantum fireball (ancient) and raptor.. I throw systems together from whatever is hanging about surplus.

    I wouldn't use 2 burners the same make/model in even a new build.. different makes have different characteristics and that can be very useful.

    Since I never replace 2 optical drives at the same time and buy whatever is on sale that day, i typically never have the same brand (and never the same model) in one system at the same time.
