Hi

I would like to know what dvd burner should I buy?

I want to be able to back-up DVD's, PC games, and maybe some Karaoke CD+G

Are Plextors the only one that will burn 1:1 copies of PC games or are there any other burners that have these capabilities?

Thanks

Komodo

I have an NEC-2500A, Lite-On SOHW1633s, Plextor PX740A, and a brand new BenQ DW1655. So far these drives have been pretty good to me but the one that sticks out of the bunch is the BenQ DW1655, is quite, comes with QSuite 2.1 (Diagnostics, Booktyping), and is capable of Lightscribe. I went with the 1655 for the price (Only $63 shipped), Lightscribe and for the good reviews I've seen all around the forum.

NEC drives are pretty good in my opinion. First I had was NEC 2500A, now i have a NEC 3500AG.

Both are great for burning dvds and cds, but the only downside i have found is that they are both not so good at reading scratched or dirty discs.

Instead for that i have to use my Lite-On DVD drive which does the job with much less errors.
