dongato Jul 23, 2002, 03:22 PM I copy a lot of Dreamcast and Playstation 2 games, which one would you recommend: LG 24x16x40 Samsung 24x16x40 Lite On 40x12x48 Is there too much difference in speed between burning at 40 and 24?, thanks in advance. loneCoyo Jul 23, 2002, 07:53 PM save your money and get a dvd writer cdr writer are useless now days blinker4182 Jul 23, 2002, 08:07 PM all those drives will match you needs great, so i would let the price decide. the differnce in 24x to 40x is about 3-5 minutes per burn. i would definatley not say cd-rw is useless. $60 vs $300+, and what speed do dvd-r drives burn cd's at-12x? loneCoyo Jul 23, 2002, 08:09 PM well if he already have a cdrw tat is up to par then it is useless like if hes already got a 8x.. then no point of gettin a newer cdrw plus most games comin out are dvd's now mind as well ... unless he doesnt play games at all if u only burn pc games/files then get a fast cdrw not if u play ps2 and xbox... get a dvd wrtier... gsand Jul 23, 2002, 08:36 PM dvd writers burn at 8speed for cdrs with buffer underrun protection too-well thats what my pioneer 104 does nyway-regards,gsand. steve_69er Jul 23, 2002, 11:23 PM my 200i .... dvd / cd writer burns CDs at 24 x and DVD at 4 x i just got it and im happy i got a dvd burner now no more fooling with ftps all the time except the media is $$$$$ ! napski Jul 24, 2002, 12:23 AM Remember, you should keep the burning speeds low. My favorite in CDRW is the good old Plextor 12/10/32A...I've had it now 3 years, burned MUCHO CD's (for DC, PSX, PS2, VCD's, etc) and it still burns like a charm today...especially with PS2 games and CloneCD :-) Lukesjr Jul 24, 2002, 01:16 AM get the new plextor 40x burner. It has a new feature called "vari rec". It has to do with burning audio cds, you can find more and read about it online. Plextors are the best. only a little bit more money, but worth it. Game_master Jul 24, 2002, 02:15 AM What do you know about ( vari rec ).... I have a plextor 40x12x40x.. but I don't know what you are talking about.. but sound cool... sanai79 Jul 24, 2002, 02:37 AM just get a liteon... or one of it's clones (those rebadge ones). They have the most bang for the money. I got one at dell for 70 bux shipped. You can also hack it so it burns at 48X instead of 40X Lazza Jul 24, 2002, 04:15 AM You already asked this in the CDRW forum and it was moved to Consumers forum! PLEASE do not double post as it is against the forum RULES. ;) |
