Nearly all of us on the Forum use the Pioneer DVR A03.


www.scan.co.uk there will be others. Just search the web

Best writter to get is the Panasonic -A03, I've seen them on the internet (UK sites) for around £350 inc VAT (Search Yahoo becasue I can't remeber the site).

The Panasonic will write DVD-R and DVD-RW. Most of the other will only write DVD+RW. The +RW format is Ok if you just want to write the same disk over and over and works with many standalone dvd players. Downside is DVD+RW media is not cheap at around £16quid a disk.

On the other hand DVD-RW is just the same (but done in a different way) and media is around £6quid a disk.

BUT DVD-R is the big advantage.

It works in 90% of standalone DVD players and the price is around 2.5quid per disk. The Panasonic will write a full disk (X2) in around 30mins and (1x) take an hour.

Regards

Charlie, I noticed you use a Yamaha 2100 (Running OPC) What is OPC? Also I was thinking about purchasing a Yamaha 3200E. Would you suggest getting this or something else. Thanks for all your help...:confused:

OPC is Optimum Power COntrol, and Running means it does this as it goes. The Yamaha makes as near perfect copies as is possible in conjunction with my post "CD-R Burning Sped".

Personally I recommend the Yamaha 2200. Nothing wrong with the 3200 but it doesn't use OPC it uses a Yamaha variant; might even be better but is not in my experience. You could check this through with Yamaha.
