i am very new at this and looking for an external dvd burner to go with my notebook. i have a 1394 hookup but no usb2. what would i look for?
an external dvd burner that would have a firewire connection. another option would be a card that would have some usb connectors on it. usb 2.0 is just as good if not better than usb 2.0, last time i checked. some other good things to look for a double layer, the media is quite expensive now, but it is dropping. and dual format as well. good luck! ross
i bought io magic. i hadd issues at first but now it works awesome. tdk makes a good product, i especially lked the velocd burners. sony should be okay, lite on. go over to www.cnet.com and do some research! good luck, ross
ok, i am headed downtown. i have looked at all that you mentioned but just needed some guidiance. thanks a lot
The top 2 choices in burners would be Plextor and then Pioneer. You can't go wrong with either. Jerry
