Im thinking about buying a DVD Burner, the prices seem pretty reasonable right now, I never thought about getting one before so don’t know much about ‘em, can anyone give me some info on some good ones to look at buying or what all this + - and DL stuff is, thanks.
Thats not pricey at all, I was actually looking at that one at another site for $130, thanks for the site :D I just want to make sure my dvd player can read the dvd’s it burns, how can I be sure of that?
That one is freakin sweet. I’m going to get me one soon aswell. A bit pricy but I love me the best. 😉
If not go on newegg.com and search for any you like, They got plenty of good one. And great deals all the time.
Sony Internal 16X DVD+R / Double Layer/DVD+RW Drive, Model DRU710A, Retail
Thats the one I have… very nice
Getting in on this sorta late, but I’ll still throw my $.02 in on the conversation. I have this same model as well, and I have no complaints. It’s quick, reliable, and burns dual layer if you need it. Not to mention that it comes with a white & black faceplate so you can match it to your case. A great burner at an attractive price.
So can you do a direct copy, or do you have to rip the dvd then copy it? Because it would be nice to just throw in the movie and the blank dvd in and have it copy, like a CD Burner

edit: does DL jus mean dual layer?
DL does mean dual layer.
As far as direct copy I wouldn’t recommend doing this—you’ll end up with a lot of ‘coasters’—trust me on this.

What media do most people use with this Sony model (710A)?

I use Imation, I get 50 CD spindles [Single Layer] for like $15-20 and I haven’t had any problems with them yet. Maxell is supposed to be a decent brand to use also.
Does anyone know where I can get some dual layered blank dvd’s, I’ve never seen any 8.5 gig blank dvds and was wondering if anyone knew where I could get some (preferebly from a website). thanks 😉
yea, jus found some from bustbuy, $30 for 3!!!. damn, anyone kno of anywhere they are cheaper? If not I guess I will go with single layered and just shrink any dvds that are too big until DL media drops in price
just decided im gonna go with this one ^^^ instead of the sony, because a lot of people on this forum are recommending it, its cheaper, and it writes DVD-R at 16X and the sony only does 8X
Never had a bad burn using decent media, dual layer discs are so expensive at this point i wouldnt bother with a DL burner now. Possibily in the future.

Save your money, they are too expensive at this point, and a SL disc is just as effective 😊

Yea, I think i’m going to just shrink any dvd that doesnt fit on a SL disk until DL disks are cheaper.
I also decided to get this dvd burner instead of the sony, cause its cheaper and it burns dvd-r’s at 16X while the sony only does 8X
