    "If only it could write DVD+R..."

    on April 14, 2003

    Summary: I had no problems whatsoever with writing DVD+RWs, CDRWs and CDRs. However, the lack of support for DVD-R / DVD+R media is inexcusable. I was one of the numerous people who bought this drive not knowing about this flaw. About the bundled software I can say that Nero Burning Rom and especially Nero inCD are very functional and useful (once you get used to them), while MyDVD appears somehow unready and crippled. (For example, you can't choose the MPEG quality level when converting an AVI, which often results in way too large files!) Oh yes, one more thing: The drive is loud as hell, especially with CD-ROMs.
