Suggest me a DVD Burner
Hello everyone,
I want to buy a DVD Burner that can also burn multi-layer DVD.
Some people told me most of the writers can last as long as maximum 1 year only. Is this true?
Which is most stable?
Sony, LG, Asus, Samsung.... which is really worth?
Please also specify the current prices in Indian market.

Re: Suggest me a DVD Burner
And what does that have to do with Open Source?

It was posted in Open Source Section. I moved it here.
Coming to the question, I have Benq 1650 which many people suggested me. It seems to be going good for me.

Re: Suggest me a DVD Burner
All Sony drives are rebaged LiteON/BenQ drives. I'd recommend BenQ DW1650.

Re: Suggest me a DVD Burner
I wouldn't even touch Samsung. For reasons just search the forum, you will find plenty of posts on that.

Re: Suggest me a DVD Burner
Go for a LiteOn or a Sony! Sony delegates his DVD burner production to Liteon!
There you go!

Re: Suggest me a DVD Burner
Sony DVD+RW DL 820A is the best writer for its price (Rs 2400).

When quoting price it will be nice to specify whether it is that of a boxed one or OEM.

Re: Suggest me a DVD Burner
check out this months CHIP. They have a comparison of the major DVD burners 
Acc. to them LITEON is the BAAP of all DVD burners ... BENQ-1650 is the worst performer  any comments, BENQ owners ?

Re: Suggest me a DVD Burner
To be really frank , if u visit sites like cdfreaks or cdrlabs .. people say that benq is king .. i got benq 1640 , lite on 165p6s and lg h10n ..
out of these three .. lite on rocks .. benq is excellent on + r media but poor on -r media .. tried 8 different firmware .. still the problem exists ..
and i just recently got lg .. hence can't comment on it ..
