Buying a computer DVD burner..

**The Bad Guy** · 01-22-2005, 07:16 PM

I already have a stand alone burner and I'm looking to buy a good quality/low price burner for my computer.

Anyone have any suggestions on what one to buy and what software can I use to get around all the digital locks?

Thanks in advance.

Just got this one a few weeks ago and it works very well.

For the software use Dvdshrink.

I found this useful for instructions:

That is an excellent price for what it is.

Miles,

Thanks for the suggestion - I purchased it off Newegg after reading the glowing reviews.

I'll let you know what I think when I get it.

I can't use an internal drive, my PC isn't fast enough...anybody recommend a good external burner?

Yep..go for at least a 16x and a Dual Layer. No sense in buying obsolete technology.

Also, is dvdshrink the only software I will need to "backup" DVDs?

**The Bad Guy** · 01-26-2005, 01:20 PM

Is this a good deal?

Nero 6 ultra is like 90 bucks in stores.

I'm wondering if there are any hidden strings attached on this one.
