I was shocked as well. 7 minutes ago I checked the board and saw a lonely TLP. jsut a few seconds ago I saw a "83" on the front page :omg: I think the 8 is just some bit where chris stores important (or funny) information.

Well, it said 88... and 62 for the MFC thread below... let's see... It's not the first time this happens.

The Pioneer A05 is pretty much the de facto standard now, and it's the model that Apple ships in Macs. Whatever you do, get a drive that does DVD-R/RW, not DVD+R/RW. (Yes, "-" and "+" are part of the names and they are different standards.) The + versions are evil offshoots and don't work in as many drives. --Mike-- Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue. 1ClickPicGrabber - Grab & organize pictures from your favorite web pages, with 1 click!

That's true.. Right now on the front page it's says 93 posts. I posted my question at 6:30pm. I was appalled by my 1 1/2 absence from CP's Lounge. Shame on me..:| But after reading the other replies (incl Chris)..:-O Kant Sonork-100.28114 Don't :beer: and Drive.

I myself use a Pioneer 104 (2x write) and it's worked great for me. However, as Mike mentioned, the 105/A05 is the more recent model that includes 4x write capability, and Pioneer pretty much lead development of DVD-R/RW writers. -- Paul "Put the key of despair into the lock of apathy.

Yeah, I really meant "don't get a drive that does only +R/RW". ;P --Mike-- Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue. 1ClickPicGrabber - Grab & organize pictures from your favorite web pages, with 1 click! My really out-of-date homepage Sonork-100.19012 Acid_Helm

The last blanks I got cost me about $11 for 3 (Memorex DVD-R @ CompUSA). I'm not sure if you can copy pre-recorded DVDs - I don't think the (normal) software will allow it. Steve

I would have thought that +R/+RW was better, because of the formatting technology. Mind you, I haven't done any actual buying, but I read my PC World... But somebody said no. Care to enlighten me?
