Best DVD Burner for Computer?

I agree with Quadophile on the Plexter nams, however they chose to support the +R an +RW format which is not widely used. Any home DVD player based on the Pioneer laser will only read -R and -RW format. The Sony does both formats.

So does the new Plextor I mentioned! It also does both formats +RW and -RW, and is twice as fast as Sony.

It is the fastest, and best dual format burner on the market (period).

Looks like your one up on me Quad, now I have to sell my Sony.

Vader,

I am sorry, I am just mentioning the facts. I am also in the same boat like you are most of the time. The damn computer age is really a pain in the butt when it comes to formats. While you are negotiating the deal at the counter the product is already obsolete, and we can do nothing about it. We have to live with it!

If you have never used Plextor before, I assure you you will never buy any other brand of burner in future.

Wish you good luck!

Actually I own a Plexter cd burner, I was excited when I heard about them coming to market with a dvd burner.
They have always been the industry standard, I was upset when I discovered the only supported the + format.
But now I am happy again and will probably purchase thier new unit.
Thanks for the info!
