ASUS is pretty good so is SONY.

[godsownman]

I recommend SONY .

Its really good.

[expertno.1]

You should go for Lite-on ...it has many features and costs less aslo

only consider liteon and sony
go for liteon if u can get one.....its the king.

[bharat_r]

go for a DVD writer instead of a cd writer.Their cost is almost same.

DVDs are the future.

Buy a DVD writer.

[expertno.1]

then why not go for

Blue Ray disc..Mr. Bharat ?..they r the future !

[babumuchhala]

I would say u go for DVD RW by liteon as it costs just Rs 3800/- and i personally feel that cd rw is there but fast fading and dvd rw becoming more main stream and currently it is dvd rw.

The future no doubt is blu ray but is its a loooooong way

[expertno.1]

well he has asked for a cd writer and thats why i posted only about the cd writer

always think waht the poster is trying to ask

if he asks for intel processors and u tell him that amd is more good ..then think urself wht he will decide ? price is always not the thing

he asked for cd writer so we must reply the answer of cd writer and not give othr replies of any other

he want it so we gave it

they are the future but a long way to become famous in Indian household.

DVDs are the near future & not the far future.

[ashisharya]

[expertno.1]

u could try LG but before try to get hands on liteon

[abhishekkulkarni]

Well go for a Sony Cd Writer.

[expertno.1]

its very difficult to take sdecison with everyones other choice

please change this topic into poll so that u may be able to choose correctly on the basiss of votes

[bharat_r]

I have a LG cd-writer & it's working fine & better than Samsung(which I had previously)

[Elitecoder]

Hi raj
well i am using a samsung writer. i don't have any problem but the main prob is with the software accompanying the writer.
They still provide Nero 5.5 as Nero 6.0 Ultra Edition is the craze of the market. So plz go for LG or Sony.
They provide Nero 6.0 Ultra Edition with their writers.
But in the lite of reviews Liteon is the King.
Decide as u wish.
bye and take care

Go for an ASUS CD Writer. Its just awesome.

[royal]

No one mentioned Pioneer

[premrajeev]

hey,

never go for samsung, as this is the second time my samsung writer is behaving supernatural !!!....

This time my samsung had a power calibration error followed by some nasty tray problems...

[Sankalp]

he is right. never ever go for a samsung cd-writer. power callibration error and tray problems are very common in samsung.

u can try LG. its tray is also good and hardy. But be warned LG only provides 2 MB Buffer memory compared to 8 mb in samsung.

[QwertyManiac]

if u want beast cd drives contact the inventor of the 1st cd-drive and he'll send u a big huge one...

Srry for the sarcasm...

Well, acer drives are good, lite-on is also good, but cordin ta me SAMSUNG is the best...

[FilledVoid]

Im using Sony and Im pretty much pleased with it. Ive heard that Samsung has numerous tray complaints previously, but not sure if its the same for the new drives. Also check this link out for more information about CD -Writers.

[premrajeev]

I will never go in for ANY samsung product in my life Again :::

[abhishekkulkarni]

Yeah especially the HDD'S . God they su*k

But their monitors are great....

Anyways to come back to the topic go in for a LG or Sony Drive...

[AMITAGARWAL02]

I bought the samsund dvd drive
but it didnt format or write to dvd rw

though it detected cd rw cds plus dvds like of movies and that came with digit.but cant do anything like formating and writing on dvd rw +

i have returned drive and requested another

Can anyone tell me i dont want to use nero that came with DVD writer

i want to use easy cd creator or direct cd type software to make cds and dvds

can i use other software other than nero

i previously have cd writer 4x hp and easy cd creator and direct cd software came with it and i found that very easy'
i dont like nero
