i have been looking for quite some time for the right time to buy a burner, and this seems 2 be the best. i picked one that i havent seen really any comments about and was wondering if anyone here had it. its a HP DVD100I... i know its not the pioneer everyone talks about, but the reviews ive read on cnet and so on seem decent. was just wondering how it would hold up with a ps2 and standard dvd players. all input is welcome. thanx

Hp dvd100i is useless for backups.

It only writes dvdrw.....

If i were you, i would get the HP200i or the Pioneer A03-A04. :cool:

Or wait for a 4x dvd burner

When are those supposed to come out, anways?

I read somewhere one is about to come out.

thanx for the heads up on that one handy guy.... quick question though... does that mean i should be looking for dvd-ram and not dvd+rw. i found a few more, anymore help before i make a dumb move. theres the Pioneer DVR-104, the LG Electronics DAD-8020B, and the Toshiba SD-W2002. if anybody else knows of a good site to look for a selection of burners, please tell me... thanx for all your input

I think a 4x burner is due out next month

www.cdrinfo.com has all the info

You need a a03 or a04 because there is already extensive discussion on these two here.

DVDRAM will now work. Just get yourself a Pioneer DVD-R

Pioneer A03/A04 are proven dvdr burners... And you can get it at www.miradex.com for $287.00 US

your a lifesaver... im ordering mine on friday... good looking out

The Pioneer 104 is the same as pioneer A04, But it is the OEM version, meaning no retail box etc...
