What DVD recorder should I get.

[Strife]

My CD-RW is on its last legs (it works but it causes other ide devices to mess up at random) and I am thinking about upgrading to a DVD recorder.

My main concern is value for my money.

I am thinking about getting an NEC 1100a as I heard many manufactures rebrand this drive, and its available for under $200.

Any input/suggestions would be appreciated.

Dunno what prices you can get in your area but if you can afford it there is only one choice for a DVD burner: The Sony DRU500. Sells like hot cakes here in the UK and supports most formats too.

4.77MHz to 4.0GHz in 10 years. Imagine the space year 2020

No, we have more choices now. You can consider the new Liteon DVD±RW writer which is cheaper than the Sony.

We should wait for the reviews of LiteOn and Optowrite DVD±RWs's before we recommend them

Yeah, you're right... maybe I was just too excited about the new Liteon DVD burner.

Newegg.com has the Lite-On 4x + or - DVDR/RW, with 24x10x32xCDR/RW capabilities, for about $315 + tax and $6 shipping. Let us know if anyone takes the plunge, as to how it does real-life stuff.
Good Luck,
