What is a good dual layer burner to buy?

[Bob W]

BestBuy has a LiteON 8X dual layer burner for $100 on sale, is that a good one? Also please name some good 8X media brands to buy and thanks.

I'd wait for anything by PIONEER, personally.

That is a good price. So do I need some special softwareto rip/burn the dual layer DVDR's?

U need to tell use what kind of computer you have. Our mind reader is on vacation in NM.

So, they all work great. The Nec 16x is $88 at newegg, but you better get it with software cause you want to know what works with it with whatever computer you have.

Why not be adventurous and get the OPTORITE DL burner?

retail version $72 with free shipping

It is really cheap and is the retail version with software. I don't think you will be too dissapointed. Although I sometimes wish I had gotten a Pioneer instead of an Optorite. But who knows? Maybe a Pioneer would have cause me problems!

Okay I just ordered one and thanks for the link.

Wow, that was fast. You must be in a hurry.

Not really I'm just tired of my old Sony DRU500A which seems to only like TDK media. Also I figure it will be at least a year before dual layer media is at a price where I would consider using it. For now DVDshrink and an 8X burner/media is fine with me.
