I'm looking to buy a DVD-RW drive, but wondering if I also should get a separate DVD-ROM drive. I currently only have a CD-RW, so I can't read DVD's.
What I'd like to do is make back-up DVD's and store old home movies too. Is one DVD-RW drive enough to rip and write DVDs? You can't really copy DVDs on the fly like CDs right? If you can't, then it makes no sense to get an extra DVD-ROM. Unless it's better to not wear out the DVD-RW.
What I'm looking to buy. Either Plextor or Lite-On 8x single layer DVD-RW. If I get the DVD-ROM, I'll get a combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive.
