News of DVD Writers

I own the Sony DRU-510ak and the TDK 440n but i don't know if they record on to DVD-RAM if someone could advice me it would be very helpful, and if they don't record to DVD-RAM which ones do???

Plextor japan has posted a new beta firmware for Px 716. They promised a new firmware and here it is. Too bad that it's not the final one but let's just hope that now they got it righ when it comes to 16x writing speeds.

Ohhh, seems that Securerecording, Gigarec and Varirec are still turned off with this update.

Hi all,

I have read that the new LG 4163B can do Bitsetting on DVD-R :)

Does anyone know if it can do Bitsetting on DVD-RW/+RW so I can play 'DVD RW' on my Panasonic E55 standalone DVD Recorder ??


thanks

I have recently begun using Shrink (v 3.2.0.15) more often than in the past. I have backed up between 12-15 discs over the last 2 weeks. The problem is that the backup copies seem to hang and skip a few frames at 3 or 4 different spots during playback. This has happened with 3 different movies so far (I haven't had time to view them all).

I know it is not my standalone player, as ...

That's the way it looks.. at least according to CoolTechZone.

Dual-Layered (DL) DVD writers may be affordable, but the question of concern is the media prices. The price per DL media averages out to $10.00, which is shockingly high. We talked to manufacturers at this year’s CES about prices and what they thought about DL media in general. The replies we received were far from positive ...

So until about 2, 3 days ago I was ignorant to any and all things dvd-burner. I do want one though, and have been doing my homework. My eyes have been bleeding from reading reviews and I figured I'd get some solid advice. I have a price range of anything up to 130 or 140. What is the best bang for my buck. I've checked benq's (which looks nice, but the lack of a black ...

Hi Guys, I have a question that I was hoping someone could help me with. My DDW-082 (originaly an 081 which I have upgraded over the last year as new firmware has been made available.) works great.....It will burn anything...but this latest firmware does not let me burn any 4X media at 8X anymore. I use to use Memorex 4X +R media and with previous firmware it burned at 8X...with B377 it only burns at ...

Has anyone noticed a significant rise in Ritek G05 coasters? I've seen a couple of complaints from people lately that some Ritek G05 media is SERIOUSLY flawed!

Complaints seem to be for Regular Silver Matte, as well as the white inkjet printable, and white inkjet printable to the hub as well.

It may be unrelated, but my last order to Ritek USA had this response:

*****,

The ETA on this item is to be determined, ...

Hi guys,

I saw Verbatim 4x DVD+R at SAMS club. They are made in Taiwan or Singapore but is says Mitsubishi Chemical on the spindle. I think it cost $18 for a box of 50 +R. Any experience with this media? Is it any good? I don't mind 4x.

Thanks.

Hey all,

As some of you may have read, I'm planning to get a DVD reader, probably a LG, Samsung or a LiteOn (or possibly an Aopen)

Anyway, another option I recently became aware of is I can get a Ricoh MP5420A which is a 4x4x (+R,+RW) burner. It's also 8x DVD read, 40x CD read, 24x CDR and 10x CDRW. Although this is by no means the best and def not the fastest burner, ...
