Hi all

I thought of starting this thread separatley instead of continuing in the thread "recording DVD media on CD-R"

i would to know your views on DVD-writer, like which one is best to buy. I was thinking of going for the Sony, since i already have a CD-RW writer and DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive by them which work pretty good.

Well now days DVD-writers are not very expensive and their prices have come down drastically. you an get a decent DVD-writer for about 3k to 3.5k.

What about performance have they also gone down???

any views on other brands like BenQ, Lite-on, Samsung (i hate this one for their tray stucking problem).

3 -3.5k........what times are you living in, friend?

Best writers in the market atm are LG H10N or BenQ DW1650. Don't buy the sony, as its just a rebadged BenQ

(You can go for it if LG and BenQ are not available).

With a little bargaining, you'll get one under Rs 2K.

Avoid them... most of them have pretty bad write quality. In the worst case get a USB casing and put ur internal drive in the casing.

LG and BenQ both are good. But the LG is very easily available. You might have trouble locating the BenQ.

The old ones were rebadged pioneers which were excellent... not sure what the new ones are... probably benq.

Do check out the dual-layer writers. Any long movie won't fit into 4.7GB. So a single-layer writer can be a pain. I am unable to back up Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

^^ Not noticebly for most setups

And you'll also need DVD43 if the dvd is encrypted.

u mean that macrovision copy protection or CSS encryption. For that i got a software last week called DVDCloner and it was able to create a copy of the DVD on the harddisk, which was not possible with nero or cloneDVD.

I still have to try this SW to write onto a DVD.

How is DVD43 BTW ?
