Wizard Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 no software, no cables, just the drive itself...since its your first drive i recommend getting the retail version unless u got some spare cables...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I'm pretty sure OEM has cables dude. No manuals and such.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>OEMs usually just come in a plastic bag. Or a box with lots of cool poppy stuff if your ordering it online.

Shibathedog Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 Okay so for software, Im going to use Alcohol 120% for copying DVDs my friend made with his DVD camera *wink* and Nero 5 for converting all my DivX movies i made with my camera to DVD format. Is that good? Or is there any better software i should use? I dont need to make DVD menus or anything im just going to be putting DivX files and stuff as DVD format. If i can fit more that one movie ill just set each movie as a different chapter or something if it even works that way. (I know VOB files can only be.99GB but i dont think that has anything to do with chapters does it?, like each VOB has to be a different chapter?)

Weirdy Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I had a LieOn-It burner and it worked Superb btw, if someone tells you that having two different burners installed will cause slow down *cough*K`dash*cough*, don't listen to them, it's bullshiit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Lite-Ons, LGs, NECs, and Plextors are the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 ive heard especially good things about Plextors. I got a free pack of Ri-Data DVD-Rs with my burner lol, pretty crappy but ill use them because im new to burning DVDs and probably screw up a few times. Then i have a 25 pack of Imation DVD+Rs ive had lying around for a long ass time that ill use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prican25 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 my pioneer 105 that i had a while back came with just a cable and in a baggy. i use a 16x liteon now and its been good with both types of dvdr but a lil picky on mini dvd-r's which i use for gc shibathedog don't knock ridata/ritek's, they are one of the best media you can get and are normally cheap to find online. its riteks or verbatims for me, i heard taiyo yuden being the best but my xbox, ps2 and dvd don't seem to like them much as verb's or ritek's. avoid princo, cheapest crap you can buy and doesn't last long no matter how clean the disc is kept; consider yourself warned.

Shibathedog Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 Oh really? Yeah i heard about some obscure brand actually being really good, maybe it was ritek. And i HAVE heard bad things about Princo. I heard sometimes the top layer comes unglued from the bottom XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
