i actually just bought a dvd burner myself.. i’ve only had it a few days but it works pretty well.. it’s the tdk 1280… burns pretty much everything +r/-r +rw/-rw and cds.. on +r’s it can burn at 12x but i’ve been burning at 4 or 6 just to make sure the quality is the best possible.. it only takes a few more minutes anyway. I don’t know if it’s dual layer.. but i don’t really care.. cause i wouldn’t spend a million dollars on a dvd.. i didn’t even want to spend a dollar a peice on them.. and then i saw a sale in the corner got 2 25 spindles for 20 bucks.
it took me a while to get the hang of it.. wasted like 4 discs haha.. i’ve only burned svcds previous to this.. and wasn’t sure what format it need to be converted too. I tried to use nero to do all the work.. and it just never burned.. spent 13 hours “converting”.. then i tried to use the roxio that came with it.. and it wouldn’t recognize any formats.. i tried loading avi’s into it.. didn’t work.. so i converted them to mpeg.. didn’t work.. tried converting to vob.. didn’t work. finally i just started using winavi to batch convert, dvdauthoringgui to author them, and then nero burning rom to burn… works like a charm
