    I presume your looking for one for your computer as opposed to a standalone dvd-recorder. After ALOT of research i bought the every popular and reliable Pioneer 108(aka A08) along with Datawrite grey 8x media.

    I have also heard that the Lacie is quite a good model - though i would stay away from the Sony DRU.

    Not too sure - Standalone DVD burners are something I know little about - I refer U to these links:

    The last link has alot of user reports if u search for a particular drive/media u should get some feedback. However i believe that even though some of these drives are region free they are not macrovision free and you'll need an external clarifier/de-macrovision box to make it work. If you do get kit such as this i'd be interested to hear how the picture/sound quality compares with your pioneer writer.
