Best place to buy Nero for Sony DRU-500A?

[hardwired]

I would like to buy the Nero application. Unfortunately it does not come with the Sony DRU-500A and the cheap OEM Nero CD priceing appears to be only available if you purchase OEM hadware. Since I'll probably pick up the DRU500A at CC or BB I need an online source that will sell it to me.

A place that I can purchase blank dvd-r media along with Nero would be excellent.

Thanks.

You might want to check out ebay. I bought Nero 5.5 off of Ebay for around $14. I've since upgraded for free to 5.5.9.17. I just placed an order for 50 Accu DVD-R media for $55 (free shipping) at www.meritline.com

I would realy appreciate if you can post your Accu's Manufacturer ID as soon as you will get them from Meritline.com. My says it's Ritek and I was not able to burn them 2x. In addition I had some error messages (burned only 1 disk so far). I wonder if I should call them.... If you are expecting 2x burning speed... maybe you should order from different place.

See my post here Accu media, but RITEK Manufacturer ID. Is it OK ?

I read your post after I posted this and wondered if you purchased your discs from www.meritline.com. But from the description of the media

Accu (silver/purple) DVD-R

I thought is was probably from www.meritline.com. I'm not sure (in fact I know I'm not sure) I understand the implication of "RITEK Manufacturer ID". Also, what sort of burn error did you get?

[donpedro]

Yes. It was from Meritline.com

I just saw this

CompUSA.com offers Ahead's Nero Burning ROM 5.5 for $39.99
before a $20 mail-in rebate, $19.99 after. Shipping is $5.
It's the lowest total price we've seen for this retail-boxed
version; the OEM version can typically be found for $10 or
less. Offer ends today.

And here is the link for it.

I took me between 25 to 30 minutes to burn a 3.2-GB file to one of these discs. I did this four out of four times. Does this mean I'm getting 4x?

[donpedro]

Nope.... that mean that you are getting 2x. Which is expected (but not always delivered) from Accu media.

[rkr1958]

Thanks. I'm happy with 2x, especially at $1 / disc.
