 great burner March 11, 2005
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
well this is my first dvd drive and it works fine. Burned all my home movies without a flaw.
however when i used the nero software to backup my computer, i had a lot of errors and still can't use the back up. i think the blame is not on the drive or the great nero software, but the norton anit virus prof. that i have installed is some how not allowing the proses to go to completion.
Works Great for comp noob. January 11, 2005

This is my first DVD burner I have ever used. Installed myself with out ever seeing the inside of a computer.. No problems with install.. Loaded comp and recognized the drive, loaded software and nero.. Burned my first Dvd 4.7 gb DATA disk with no problems. Burned a movie on 4.7 disk and it worked great except there was no dvd menu, normal or not I dont know, But still played the movie on all my 3 home dvd player, dvd-rom and my dvd player in my car.
Did a MP3 data 8gb disk and it worked fine in the comp, dvd players and my car still..
Next step was the Home movie converted from vhs and making it to dvd.. Had to save all data to harddrive then burn it.. worked flawlessly..
I say this is a great burner minus the price and the current availability of the media but we all know that in time it will be available..
As for all the bad reviews.. I dont know why people are having problems.. I, with no comp exp and just reading the user manuels and faqs on-line, was able to figure this out with no problems and only one coaster which was my fault based on the fact I accidently hit the cancel in the mid of a dvd..

I have had no bad burns. This is the first DVD burner I have ever used. I thought it would be harder to use but it is so easy! As for the bad reviews I don't know what could make this happen. I do know the burner needs to be set to a landcode the first time you use it to view a DVD. Other then that there is nothing to set or do. I am so glad I have this burner.
Great burner but not cheap December 14, 2004

This burner is grat it works flawlessly but it is more expensive than other burners. The only downside is the price. Also double layer and 16x media are impossible to find.

I bought the 710 model to burn my wedding dvd. I don't have Windows so I used Linux and it worked perfectly. Burned ten copies so far and tested them. So, guys update your drivers or switch to Linux !
