Best DVD Burners

[Russ M.]

Pioneer 108 works great but heard from a duplicator bulider that the 109 has some problems...

I've never had any good results with DVD-burning on Toast 6 and my MDD G4 with a Pioneer 105 drive. Funny enough, I never had any probs with Apple desktop DVD-burning or Retrospect backup. Believing the DVD-drive to be at fault, I swapped my 105 for a 107 but Toast still wouldn't burn a full DVD at any speed without errors. Funny enough the 105 works fine in my PC with Nero software. So I'm suspecting that Toast 6 and the MDD G4 isn't a great combo for DVD burning. Works like a charm for CDs, though...

Hmm a few no votes for the pioneer.Anyone have a Liteon?I was told they're made in the same plant as plextor and are quite good.

this pioneer has been quirky and unreliable from the start (the 109)

NOW look what happened...

i have a new seagate i mounted with 3 partitions tiger/pather/9.2 on it

thought this would be real cool to have and it all works from fire wire to i decided to put it in where my old system drive is above the superdrive internal enclosure....now the 109 is unrecognized and the door won't even open

help i have a big session starting to day with a bunch of cats coming in at 3 to get drum sounds and i really don't want to put the old drive back...what went wrong?

of course i'm gonna try to put the original drive back in place and hopefully i will get thru the day

why are pioneer 109 going for as cheap as $67

they seem to be giving them away

We've been using a LaCie d2 DL 16x fire wire burner w/ toast 6. It works great w/ our MDD 1.25 Ghz. If you have the right version of toast you can use it for Dual Layer DVD burning. More expensive than an internal burner but portable and pretty affordable if you need to use it w/ more than one computer.

My Pioneer 108, G4 1.25 sp, Toast 5.2.3, OS 10.3.7 all working great for burning 2hour DVD images and DVD Rom for backup. Also works great with sys 9.2.2 and Toast 5.1.2..
