Need help between two externals - can't figure it out
Posted: Sat Mar 18, 2006 12:04 am
Hi all,
This forum is amazing. I've spent the day doing research, here and elsewhere, but I can't make a final decision...
I need to buy and external DVD burner, and the most important factor is the write quality. I make wedding videos and need the have the best quality writes.
I've narrowed it down to 2 models:
Plextor PX-740UF
and the
Sony DRX-810UL
From what I can tell, the internal versions of these are both based on the BenQ DW1640 which has gotten really good reviews here. However, I can't tell if the external versions are also based on this (similar model # but you never can tell).
So, can anyone give me some recommendations, first hand feedback, or other advice that might help? I really appreciate it.
I was also wondering if you know if I will be able to flash the Plextor external with the BenQ firmware the way you can to the internal?
