New DVD Burner - which is the best overall

[rds_correia]

Hi guys,

I have searched through the forum looking for threads discussing hardware but I haven't found any that can answer my question.

I use my current LG 4120b burner only for burning purposes i.e. I don't use it to rip audio or dvd contents (which I acknowledge discussion is not allowed here).

I only use it for burning and it would be cool if it was compatible with dvdinfo pipo.

In such sense I'd like to know your opinion on which is the best overall burning drive out there?

Samsung? Pioneer? BenQ?

Please, do point their pros and cons if you know them.

Cheers

 

PS: I know It'd be better to ask this at cdfreaks but I tend to trust you guys better than them .

Buy a couple they are cheap enough.

 

Pioneer 112(after march 2007) or 115 for DL+ or get Liteon 20A1P to scan/write. Cost for both about £30 + £5 to deliver or whatever you currency is.

Eheh, a couple won't fit in my small miniATX pc case with only two 5,25" bays.

You see, I already have a DVD reader there that I use for reading and ripping purposes.

BTW could you point the main differences between both the Pioneer and the LiteOn?

Are those 3 burners capable of PIPO in DVDInfo?

How about the BenQs? Are they worth looking?

Oh, and where would you buy them online? Our currency in Portugal is €.

The liteon I mentioned will now, the Pioneer is no go for scans and benq good luck finding one.

 

 

Where you buy them from is down to you , you should know retailers in your own country.

 

www.svp.co.uk is a good place and I know they ship to a lot of countries I cannot see why they would not ship to your location.
