Help With DVD/CD Burner
Posted: Sun Dec 17, 2006 3:34 am
My cd burner is about gone. I have used it for 4 or 5 years i am guessing. It started making coasters and i thought it was the cdr's but i know it is my burner. It makes some with noises, messes up and stops alot. So i would like to know what dvd/cd burner should i buy? I have never burned dvd's but i have always burned alot of cd's.
The software i am use to, is easy cd creator but i read that Nero is great. I want an easy way to create labels. Is this LightScribe good? I understand it is sort of slow to make labels this way and does it use ink from your printer? How does that work? Do Verbatim Datafileplus or Taiyo Yuden have a lightscribe cd as i am guessing i need to use a special type cd to be able to use that for labels. My computer is a Dell and around 4 or 5 years old, so i am not sure what cd burner is in it but i looked at some liteon's and it looked like that in black.
I have read reviews untill i can hardly read anymore. I thought i would get a dvd/cd burner and get into the dvd's as well. Some of the burners i have read about and seemed nice was LG-GSA-4176B, LG H22L, Benq Dw1655, Plextor 740a and 760a. If you mention what burner i should get, let me know what brand cd's and dvd's i should get for it. I have some white sticky cd labels but it would sure be nice to be able to do away with those and make labels right from the drive.
Thanks for any help and this is sure a great forum and great site. I enjoy reading in here.
