THINKING of buying a bran spanking new DVD BURNER soon and i want honest opinions and views on the DVD BURNERS you own or have owned and a rating thanks :) (this will also be a good reference to others!)

ok guys/girls/other (you never know here lol :) )

give me a list of DVD burners you all use and a rating out of 10 :)

1 being worst and 10 being the best :)

I want honest views and thoughts here on them it will save buying a duff drive :)

also please if possible to add Read/burn speed at its most reliable as i know not all disks burn at the same rate and other factors can influence :)

and if its a dvd-r or dvd+r or both :)

thanks in advance all :)

hopefully everyone will get a better idea by reading this thread of whats good and whats to avoid :)

Mine is Sony DRU-500, one year old, and rated as "9"- exhellent burner, but it really despises certain media brands (Princo, CMC).

Can't go wrong with an OEM Pioneer 107 ... I was amazed at the price at my local computer fair, for a well respected drive. I was tempted, VERY

I have Optorite DD0401 and I find it to be great. I don't use it to rip and I don't us it to burn CDR's. As far as media goes I use G04's for - media. I use RICHJPN-R01-02 (+) which burn at 8x with out a problem. I use cheap + media CMC MAG-R01-00 which burn at 2.4x with out a problem. I bought them for like $9 for 25 pack I couldn't pass on that. :) I'll be happier when I see the firmware to be able to burn - media at 8x. But other than that I say I'd give it 9 and yes I would buy their product again. :D

The Optorite brings "HD-Burn" capability ... double the capacity on selected CD-R media, but despite claims that DVD-ROMS with modified firmware can read it, the only drive that currently can is the Optorite writer (and others with the same Sanyo chipset and feature enabled). A comment from a trader suggests that Optorite HAVE been reacting to and improving media compatibility.

The NEC ND2500 is getting there - a lot better media support than the previous models, and the price is pretty good for an 8x
