Only DVD+RW, not DVD+R !!!

[baker]

I admit to knowing shit about dvd drives but this can still burn to ordinary readable media right?

just a mild tip -- Don't buy that MODEL !! its the one with all the problems and had a class action law suit against it ....
this is my personal opinion anyway

its recertified - which means its one of the 100000's that were returned

[Timoleon]

That's why it's selling for $179.

It can only burn to DVD-RW media, which is considerably more expensive (approx 10X) than DVD-R media.

That's why it's selling for $179.

My supplier is selling the pioneer DVR-105 for £157.87 + vat, which seems like a good deal to me. (In the UK anyway)

[hwoodwar]

Also, be advised it is not new, it is reconditioned. "Recertified" clues me in on this.

from what Iam reading here looks like that drive is no good...I would rather buy the cendyne drive which is really a repackage of the pioneer a104 for 200 bucks.....it burns dvd-rw, dvdr and cdr's....


just my 2cents

[baker]

Oh well,

I take you guys are still sticking to pioneer then?

Its the 1st gen model manufactured by Ricoh (5120) and is in sell-out since 2 months now.
They force the 2nd gen one, the Ricoh 5125 and similar, able to handle/burn on DVD+R and +RW. 8)

THIS MUST BE THE CHEAPEST DVD+RW ever sold !!!!!

$125 , no messy rebates $125 out the door (plus local sales tax)
