Pioneer DVR-107D vs. NEC ND-2500A, Some Preliminary Tests

by **HailToTheKing** on Thu Jan 08, 2004 4:57 pm

looking for a good burner (actually 7 good burners) for my multi writer. i copy dvds for all the local video people (weddings, school plays etc) so i dont really care about making iligal copies (but once in a while right!!). what i need is the best burner...Nec 2500 @ £93 from www.blankdiscshop.com, or wait a month (and it will be a month) for the pioneer. Which is best? i cant afford to buy these NEC 2500's if they are un reliable, or will make bad coppies! I have a 106 (its for sale btw

isnt everyones!) so i know pioneer are good. but any idea what price the 107 will be? no point me waiting for it if it is gonna be £130 with no real performance advantage. There are no english reviews of eather drive so what do i do?

my vote is for 2500 NEC, thats all i use my dvd burner for, is copying movies

i used to own the sony dru 510a, pioneer 106, plextor 708a, i like the NEC very much

tests said nec was bad at some writes, it also said it had trouble reading the second half of dvd9's. Whats all that about, dont sound so good to me!

I wonder if the 107 has the same playback problems that the plex has when burning (8x on 4x media...)
