Benqs' nice but you can't get them anymore. Just recently tried with a dodgy vendor called Zipzoomfly.

Personally, I feel the NEC ND-3550a, updated using the "Liggy's 1.06 bitsetting firmware" from http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com is the best. Pioneer 111 is also good though you should still use a modified firmware to get the most out of it. Lite-On's ok and doesn't need a hacked firmware but does seem to be the subject of far more complaints than any of the above. Stay away from LG and Samsung. I have an LG and it's not very good.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

Thanks, Dunker

Thanks Again
