Which is the burner for me I wish to copy dvds so I can play in a stand alone dvd player but not really sure of the diffence between the two any help would be great
Read this, the difference between formats is explained in here: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/5540 And the usual suspect and the most popular drive at the moment is Pioneer A04 and if you want to wait yet another month, Pioneer A05 will be out by end of this month -- pretty much the same drive, but supports 4x DVD-R burning.
