    Well, now that we have all discussed the relative merits of various drives ("it sucks" or "its great"), someone here must have tried the DL media. You know who you are! You're the guys who bought all the media at americal.com so there is none left! :P Any reports?

  2. I'm definitely going to wait for the Naked Geek DL media to come out before I get my new burner.

    If you look at that site, it clearly states that the DL media won't be available until after June 30th.

    Side note: I have a Sony 510A which has been working perfectly for at least 5-6 months now (hoping it will hold out till I get a DL!). And it was one of those "factory refurbished" units from uBid.com. Funny, I upped it to the new 1.1a FW the other day. One of the new features of this is, "improved readability of burned DL media." Now if only Sony could make it BURN said media....

    Heh...they changed it. It used to say May 26th (or something like that). It did sound too good to be true, since the press has been saying DL won't be available in the US until the end of June.

    They changed the info tag. It used to say, sold out, backordered, something like that.

    Ok, the DRU-700A burns most discs well & DL media won't be out for a while yet, so my question is this...

    How well does the DRU-700A rip DVDs? My DRU-500A won't do more than 2x rips on pre-records (retail) discs. Ripping has become the slowest part of my backup process. Does the DRU-700A rip retail quick or should I buy a cheap DVD-ROM player?

    Thanks

    Wait for an LG DL burner. My 4040B rips DVD-Videos at an average speed of 6.5X, most of the time. They can only get faster.
