mmalves Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Slim burners are rubbish: you'll have better quality burns if you get a normal-sized burner and put it in an external enclosure. For the burner an Optiarc AD-7240S is great. By the way, if you're going for Pioneer as per xaudiox's suggestion, don't get the DVR-118/DVR-218 ones because they aren't good burners (the 116/117/216/217 are the good stuff).

Would you buy a burner like this? DVR-X162Q Qflix External DVD/CD Writer, I have a slim external LG GP08 already and i tried burning with IMGBURN and it wont do it so please help me out and help me try to burn DVD+R DL disks.
Cynthia Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Looks a bit overpriced if you don't need the Qflix function.
berryarecool Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 Looks a bit overpriced if you don't need the Qflix function. I can get it for 50 dollars on ebay, you think I should or do you have to recommend?
berryarecool Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 Aha, the price I saw was around 100 $. What I meant to say was would you get something like this or what would you recommend buying?
Cynthia Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 From what I can understand it's based on the models 116/216, so it should be a nice drive. Another option is to get a regular SATA/IDE and put it in an external USB case.

I appreciate your help, I really don't know much about burners and I dont want to make another mistake like I did when Im burning DVD+R DL disks.
Jim44 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 If you're in the US, I like Newegg.com for most computer parts.
dbminter Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I'm in the US and I get my burners from Newegg. Have for the last 2 or 3 NEC drives I've gotten from them.
