dvd writer - should i buy now?

Hey thesuperstar, There's no wrong time or right time to jump in and buy one. Right now you can get a decent dvd burner for $200. But as always the new 4x models are coming by the end of the year, plus sony is coming out with a model that burns both - and + dvd formats. So there are plenty of choices out there to make. It all depends on what you want and of course your patience,lol.

The storage would be of great benefit, lol. Grab a Pioneer or Asus
Nothing can match the video quality of a burned DVD to a DVD-R :)

The Pioneer DVR-A04 is a good burner to burn to the DVD-R. It makes great burns of movies (the ones that fit, otherwise transcoding is involved) and they will play in most every home DVD player.

Wait I just got (2 weeks ago) a pioneer DVR-104 and I paid $242.00, and that was the best price I could find. So what brand and where did you find a price for $200? I though I got a good deal.:confused:
 
You don't have to wait for the standard. At this time there are 2 standards ( - and + ) but it really doesn't matter what choice you make. If at the end the + will be the winning team, just buy a new writer because the price of a burner will probably lower than todays prices. You don't have the same cd-burner as 8 years back right ?
In my opinion the - is the better choice at this time because of the media prices and compatibility, but you can choose for + if you want to. In time the + format will also have better compatibility as new compatible desktop-players will hit the market.
That's for the standard.

At this time the writers are not very fast. They'll become faster, but most media isn't of that quality that you can burn at high speed. But that also will be better, look at the cdr-quality. In was also very bad in the beginning and at this time there are better dvdrs than there were cdrs at that time.
So everything will be better ;)

I would go for a dvd-burner. It a hell of lot better video-quality than all others. And you can use it as a data-disc too !
