As the thread title says, are any DVD writers 100% CCD compatible? The reason I ask is because I want to replace my current DVD-Rom drive w/ a DVD writer, but I don't want to lose any of my CCD features and reliability. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks now and later :)

edit: Deleted my old post on this topic because of a major typo. :o

hi zim,
i`ll ask again, what do you mean by ccd, and why? (it cant be that bad if your perciveering with a 7200 vivo lol.)
but you can keep the dvd rom as well.

Hello aaronjon, by CCD, I mean Clone CD. My current CDRW burner, is actually a re-badged Plextor and has CCD functionality that I don't want to lose when I upgrade to a DVD writer :)

The only Plextor CDRW that is 100% CloneCD compatible is the CD-R Premium and if I had one of those I would not be replacing it with a DVD burner, I would definatly keep both.

Although your initial post says replacing your DVDRom with a DVDBurner, but your latest post suggests replacing your CDRW... Which one is it?

Most DVD Burners I would think would be 100% compatible as a reader, the other thing to consider is that if all your drives are burners then they can all read the ATIP info on CDR's which means lots of games won't run without something like HideCDR enabled.

my 104 isnt compatible with clone cd if thats any help-im pretty sure none of the pioneers are.regards,gsand.

Well my A05 works fine with Clone CD. :)

Thanks for the replies gsand & Lazza :) Anyone else have a DVD burner that has 100% compatability w/ Clone CD? Maybe this topic could be added to the "Newbie" guide?

The A05 I believe supports RAW 96 reading and RAW DAO 96 writing, no idea however about how it handles EFM encoding. Easy enough to test though.

This is a DVD forum, how a drive performs with CloneCD is hardly relivant so I can't see any point on adding it to any guide or anything like that, at least not in this forum, if it were to happen then it would be in VGB.
