I have a bunch of dvds which I would like to backup, therefore I need a good dvd burner first...any ideas which one? please be specific.....my computer supports all interfaces....thank you!!! BY THE WAY... all my computers are in ISO format..so any ideas as what procedure to take as well?
I think I am going to take a swing at a Samsung SH-203. I note there is a 203B and a 203N. If I'm not mistaken, I understand the 203N has lightscribe. It seems that many people are happy with their 203B (disclaimer: "among other brands/models") As I am interested in test driving a light scribe model, my question is whether or not I might expect the 203N model to be as reliable as the 203B? I don't know what it takes to incorporate this feature into a drive. If a "N" is significantly different in its construction, I'd probably want to play it safe and go with a drive that many are having sucess with.
Hey LOCO how are those Samys with booktyping these days? Last I heard (this was over a year ago) they couldn't booktype without assistance from third party firmware. Thanks.
I think they may need a little outside help with the booktyping, but I'm not sure yet as I haven't got my new build built yet....but it's nice and safe in it's box. I've got an old NEC 3540a that required modified bitsetting firmware that still works great so I don't have a problem with third party help. http://www.cdfreaks.com/reviews/Samsung-SH-S203B-DVD-Burner-Review
I have Samsung SH-183L,SH-203B and just ordered two SH-203N's.I have been very pleased with the Samsung's and recommend them highly. Newegg has the SH-203N on sale 29.99 free ship right now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151154 "how are those Samys with booktyping these days?" Quote from zebadee cdfreaks.com "Bitsetting on this drive is temporal. i.e. Is only temporary. Some s/w programs will do the bitsetting for you automatically. ImgBurn & Nero being just two examples."
