Greetings:
I've read some postings / reviews in cdrinfo and DVDRHELP and finally make my choice over these burners:
NEC ND-2500A , BENQ800A / BenQ DW822A, PIONEER DVR-107D. The BENQ800A & DVR-107D is based solely on reading the conclusion. I am not a computer geek so all the test detail and technic are all greek to me. If it were you which one will you pick for the following tasks & softwares:
1- Making / Burning ISO, BIN CD-R format using WinIso and CDRWIN from Golden Hawk Technology. It would be great if the recording time can match my current Sony CRX215A1 (48X 24X 48X) i.e burn a full 700MB in approx 4 minutes. I've been pointed out that CDRWIN is a malicious application. If anyone share the same point of view an insight thought would be appreciated.
2- Burning data using Nero Buning Rom
3- Intend to make backup of my valuable Kung Fu's movies collection using DVDXCOPY or any other alternative application that would let me chose what I want to include (Subtitle menu, Setup menu for soundtrack DTS and AC-3)) or left out (commentary, trailer, movies preview etc) when bakcup. For unknown reason some of my 3, 4 years old DVD suddenly refuse to play. The backup must able to be played on most major DVD player or at least on these Pionner DVD-V630, SONY DVP-NC665P, SONY SLV-D300P and Dell Inspiron 8000.
4- Optionally, make some Tai-Chi video using MiniDV, Di8 and Ulead Video Studio 6.5 (preferable), 7.0 or later if needs be.
Personnally I prefer BENQ DW822A due to its upgradeable firmware to become a Dual layer in the future. However, beside it weakness for the CD-R speed, it will be also no use if it can't perform the above task. Therefore any recommendation (under $150) would be welcomed and appreciated.
My current IDE DVD-ROM is LiteON XJ-HD166S
Any insight thoughts or additional recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
