Best Place To Buy DVD burner???
 

Can anyone recommend the best site to buy a DVD burner from and if so which is the best type??

I believe a pioneer DVR A05 is quite good, any hints??

you haven't said where you are from?

If UK: -
www.blankdiscshop.co.uk
www.bigpockets.co.uk

and either the Pioneer A04/A05 or the Sony DRU500A

To me the king is the Sony dru500a
i feel it does the job of two burners

PIONEER A05
 

I just bought PIONEER A05, and its amazing. Im using DVDXCopy 1.3.1 software to make DVD backups with, and it works 100%.
The backups I made with it work on my PIONEER 454 DVD Player. To find more info look in www.pioneer.com or co.uk and the best place to buy it is: www.amazon.com or if you live in UK co.uk The diffrence with Sony is that you can use R/RW+ feature.

The reason I chose PIONEER products because they were highly recommended everywhere I looked & 99% of members on this forums recommend it to me....and F..K .....they were right !!

hehe..this is actually the question i've been pondering for a few days too..how is the pioneer w/ movies? cuz i'm mos def leaning towards pioneer

The Pioneer and Sony are great for everything. You can't go wrong with either. If you plan on using both -r/rw and +r/rw go with the Sony. If not you can save some money by going with the Pioneer.

DVD Ram
 

Dabs direct is the cheapest I've seen, that is if u r in the good old uk old boy.

BTW
 

I've also heard that the Tosh SD-R5002 is an excellent buy as it also reads raw data so can be usrd with clone cd for burning CD-Rs

dvd ram what is that
 

i seen a dvd ram burner for sell there pretty cheap prices but what do they do will they copy ps2 games and r they good or bad to have i dont see much stuff around for dvd ram media wise that is

DVD-ROM
 

Don't you mean DVD-ROM DRIVE.
You can't burn CDs or DVDs with DVD-ROMs.

DVD-ROM is a drive..and all it can do is play CDs & DVDs.

O dear anglik24, you are gonna wanna go burry ur head in the sand lol He does mean dvd-ram! DVD-RAM is not compatible with PS2 (or most dvd players for that matter) Most of them write dvd-r too but stick to the brands mentioned as others have tried and (painfully) found out which which writers work most reliably.

The fastest way to get a Pioneer 105 is from www.blankdiscshop.co.uk They are selling out everywhere fast. I'm currently testing every type of dvd-r media I can find, so far the PS2 has booted everything written by my 105 using nero 5.5.10.0 regardless of which media I use!

Re: Re: DVD-ROM
 

what version ps2 are u using to test my v5 and v7 plays all media written by a04

test on a v4 or v3 thats were the problems start

my old v4 would read 90% not the real shit ones

Tis a V7 m8 - Seems a lot of peeps are payin top dollar for media when they don't need to.

Thats for sure..... Thats the reason I started purchasing Riteks (after a little talking to my M8 :D ) They are cheap and work PERFECTLY.....

I don't know if this helps, but I just bought a new Pioneer 1A04 for $399 Canadian from factorydirect.ca

WHOOPS..........LOL...........I thought (All4TheInfo-member) was talking about backing up PS2 games using his DVD-ROM Drive........O well, thank god I have a wooden floor...........
