TEAC, a major player in the burner world, has introduced its first DVD burner. It has opted for compliance with DVD Forum's specifications, and uses the DVD-R/RW format. Its characteristics are exactly the same as those of the Pioneer burner. Burn speed in DVD-R mode is 4x, 2x in DVD-RW mode.
Software Package
The TEAC comes with just two programs: Nero Burning ROM 5.5 for burning, and Studio 8 for video editing. Studio 8 is the excellent Pinnacle program that you can also use to author your DVDs.
