I've read the other post on recommended dvd writers, but I can't seem to find any "recommended" ones that are in this format. The only one that seems to be available is the Panasonic that Dell uses and I have a Dell laptop. I think there may be a TSST model, but I have one of them and it has been terrible. Does anyone know where one can be purchased (would like to use a reputable vendor)? What are opinions on the Panasonics, as I have not owned one? Thanks very much ahead of time for your help/feedback!
