Blu-Ray / DVD / CD burner

DustinTaj · 11-24-2009, 03:10 AM

I'm going to be building a new PC soon. I will be adding a blu-ray burner to it as well (they're in the $150 - $200 range finally).

Does anyone know anything about these? I'm interested in finding one which will accurately and easily rip my CD's as well (using EAC or something similar). I know with DVD/CD burners, some were better than others (some would only burn at say 8x, or 4x, where slower burning is better). I want accurate rips and burns out of it for audio CD's. I also will be using it for burning my HD videos (canon HD camcorder) to blu-ray as well.

Anyone have experience with these?

I have no issues with my Pioneer drive, so I can definitely recommend that.

In my media center I have an LG DVD/HDDVD/BD (reader only), and while it is good for media playback, I find it disappointing on the burning side of things as it occasionally fails on finalising discs and is very picky with media..

which pioneer drive do you use?

I'll stay away from the LG, thanks!

I have had better luck with the Pioneer BD-R/RE drive than the LG drive.

Wasn't sure where to put this, so I hope this is O.K.:

"Sony and Panasonic Call to Increase Blu-Ray Disc Capacity."

Quote:

.....If the key developers of Blu-ray technology succeed in standardizing their recent achievements, then it will be possible to make dual-layer BD mediums with up to 66.8GB capacity.

Then there's this fun bit of info
