DVD Burner

Callan · 2004-01-22 22:37:20

My dvd player on my pc is starting to act up (stops playing for no reason, freezes on menus etc). So I think I'll get myself a DVD burner.

My dvd player on my pc is starting to act up (stops playing for no reason, freezes on menus etc).
So I think I'll get myself a DVD burner.

Im thinking of getting a Lite-On LDW-811S , anyone have one of these or heard anything about them, or reccommend a better one similarly priced. I also have this dvd player, so I should be able to burn discs that will play on it using that liteon.
Any advise would be great.
Thanks

Thanks for the replies.

Im going to order the nec 2500a with some {DV 3071/25} Ritek A Grade 1x to 4x Inkjet Printable DVD-R in pack of 25. Are these discs good? will they sell me a sample pack of dvds if I buy a 25 pack aswell.
Also what's this www.svp.co.uk company like, their websites not the best designed I've seen (i dont really trust companies who aren't arsed doing a decent site)

I bought the Pioneer 106 4X +/- drive from svp.co.uk before Christmas. It's working a dream. I'm using the Datasafe Ritek 4X discs, and have had just 1 coaster from 25 so far, and I think that was not the drive's fault.

svp.co.uk are an excellent company. I have bought blank discs, ink cartridges, photo paper and lots more from them over the past 4 years. They have a huge range of media, and all very good quality. The shipping is a bit pricey, but they get it in the post within 24 hrs of placing the order, and it's shipped by courier. The only drawback is that lately Parcelforce are using GLS to deliver the packages in Ireland, who are pretty poor.
