Cliffs:
Which DVD burner should I buy?
Full text:
:wtf: I thought LiteOn was the Honda of optical drives? I’ve got a maybe 2 year old DVD +/- burner (LDW-411S). Aside from the above mentioned random DVD+RW discs I had laying around, I’ve tried Memorex and TDK DVD-R discs and Memorex DVD+R discs. The drive can’t even so much as tell that there’s a disc in the drive. I’ve tried about 4 different firmware versions, with no change.
Now I need it to work, as we just got our wedding DVD and since it’s basically priceless to us I want to copy it and put a copy in the fireproof safe before it gets scratched.
So… Is there a DVD burner that’s compellingly better than the rest? Newegg’s got some LiteOn, LG, and Samsung drives that will burn everything known to man (besides blue-ray) for $30 bones. Which one? Lightscribe can kiss my ass. I’ve got a sharpie.
