My old NEC 2500A DVD burner is getting old and I'm looking to replace it with a new burner that fits my needs:

1. I burn PC and PS2 backups so it NEEDS to read and write those well
2. Needs bitsetting capabilities for increased compatibility with DVD+R (automatic would be nice)
3. I usually burn at 4x so high speeds are not necessary.
4. Lightscribe is not necessary
5. Being able to scan the quality of my burns would be nice
6. I will probably be playing my game disc on this drive

After looking around these forums for a while, it seems that the BenQ (gone), Liteon, and Pioneer models are the best in general. The latest model from Pioneer is the 112D:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16827129007

From Lite-On, theres the LH-20A1P: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16827106050

And the LH-18A1P: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16827106042

There has been only previews for these drives so far, and I'm not sure whether there will be a review because they seem similar to previous models.

Should I get the Pioneer, Lite-On, or maybe something else? Thanks for the help.

Look at the LiteOn LH-18A1P- booktyping capable - the Pioneer would need patched firmware if it's around (probably is).

LiteOn does a better scan imho than Pioneer (I have both but the Pioneer is older).

Nero automatically booktypes a lot of LiteOn models automatically when using +R media. If not still have an option of changing the booktype.

ImgBurn will also booktype by default.
