What does everyone think of this Burner? Anything Bad on it?
Was wondering b4 I decide to keep this or return it for Sony Multi Format Burner..

Try the consumer opinion forum. You'll probably get more replies there, but if you want my opinion, from what I've read its a decent dual format burner. I've got an NEC 1100 and it hasn't let me down yet.

Thanks..Opinion is better than no opinion at all..Especially someone with similar product..

Moving to Consumers ...

All you have to do is search the forum for it & there are tons of topics already.

not bad but it's + only. Depends what you paid for it really. You can get =/- burners for about £70-£80 now (4x)

I would rather buy a Pioneer 106 personally but the NEC is supposed to be decent once you get a firmware upgrade.

emailrob - Hi The NEC 1300 is ± not just +.

The drive is very good, especially for the price but I would advise using one of Herries hacked firmware for better media support.

Personally I use Ritek based +R media with the hacked firmware that allows bitsetting and have been able to produce disks that play on a DVD player that has never managed to play any other ± DVDR disk.

EDIT (whoops I forgot to put the 1300 after NEC)

There appears to be a hacked firmware to change the NEC 1100 into a NEC 1300 but I think this only works with certain drives. Check out the rpc1.org forums and Etna's site for more info.

Alot of people confuse the 1300A with the 1100A. The 1100A is + format only and the 1300A is dual format. :)
