    Sony CRX320E (Liteon 5232k) - Wow!

    I've never liked combo drives, and I've never liked Memorex CD-RW - with a 10-pack of 4-10x media that neither of my other drives will touch. But I digress... I wanted a new DVD-ROM to take the strain off my DVD writer, as my old DVD-ROM drive (never a great reader) recently gave up altogether...

    Nero 6.6.0.1 / Vision Express 3.0.1.4 - out NOW!

    Nero FTP servers are in meltdown, and I've been IP address jumping manually in order to keep ahead of the pack. The main server groups are located on ftp2.nero.com, ftp3.nero.com and ftp5.nero.com (ftp6 is only two servers, and ftp4 is only one). ftp.nero.com draws from an entirely different...

    [UK] Cased DVD Media, 2 for £1 at Poundland

    This MAY be local, but I'll give you a basic review. Mirror brand media in standard DVD case - shrinkwrapped 2 ( it's a £1 item ) or single ( is that £1, or do they let you have 2 for £1 ? ). Orange print - DVD-R AN31 code 4x media, AN31 is generally regarded as poor, but the later Liteon...

    Nero 6.6 and Recode 3 Demo (Bild)

    Doing the rounds on German language forums, after the demo was on Computer Bild magazine http://www.nero.com/de/CB_Mag_Demo_Update.html - it's true! Some rips of the demo were posted online, but they are either swamped or dead. From what I read elsewhere, it seems one added feature is the...

    Clever dog

    http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,91059-1154103,00.html I guess it'll find a home soon, and then quite likely be back for raiding the fridge every night.

    Blonde Convention

    80,000 blondes meet for a "Blondes Are Not Stupid" Convention. The leader says, "We are all here today to prove to the world that blondes are not stupid. Can I have a volunteer?" A blonde gingerly works her way through the crowd and steps up to the stage. The leader asks her, "What is 15 plus...

    Liteon 1213S @ DRU710A

    Watching the progress at a couple of other forums, not brave enough to try it myself. With a ripped and crossflash-enabled BY01 firmware from a Sony DRU710A (16x + DL) the 1213S gets a personality transplant. Early results are: 1. It works 2. Transfer mode of ATA/66 becomes available 3. DVD +R...

    Is it really ART?

    http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2004392983,,00.html Everyone's a critic - including the cleaner who threw out the object that's about as artistic as a clear bag of recycling waste ... hold on, it IS a clear bag of recycling waste. Just one of a whole category of "junk art", like Tracy...

    BTC throw down the gauntlet, with 8x on +RW

    http://www.btc.com.tw/english/2-2-dvd_rw.htm#drw1016im Since there is no official 8x +RW media, presumable this will be on selected 4x +RW http://www.btc.com.tw/english/news_27.htm The 8x on +RW is not mentioned in the press release - so is this a false dawn for faster rewrite, or have they...

    DVD Media ID list - a big one!

    Need to know the ID of DVD media before you buy it? Well, of course the media code and composition COULD change, but this list may help. http://forums.speedlabs.org/index.php/topic,357.0 Some codes are not included yet - looks like I struck lucky with a pack of Intenso DVD+R 1-8x - as it...

    DVD-ROM drive half-dead?

    Delta OIP-DV1200 - it reads CDs, but seems to be incapable of recognising a DVD any more, checked with one I know I've used before (magazine coverDVD). Don't know if software conflicts could scupper DVD reading but not CD (unlikely, I would think). Tempted to throw a kill or cure cleaning disk...

    ROXIO Sells software division to Sonic, rebrands as Napster

    http://www.dvdrbase.com/showthread.php?t=40550 Thread in CDR Software section I think this does warrant a second announcement, as it's a major shakeup, but any further discussion there, to avoid double post and confusion, this one is locked

    Roxio becomes Napster Sonic acquires ROXIO software - Press release What does this mean for the product lineup, and will WinOnCD (a far better product than Easy CD Cremator) finally get a fair airing, or will it end up buried completely.
