I'm looking to add a computer based DVD burner to my Christmas list. Need some basic information to get me on the correct path. I know I'm going to look for a dual format burner (+/-), but other than that I know virtually nothing. Here are my questions:
1). Will the currently advertised cheaper brands like Buslink, Mad Dog, etc. be OK? These are currently being advertised for well under 100.00 or would it make more sense to go with a name brand?
2). Will the copies (either + or -) play on an older DVD player like my Pioneer 525 or will that need to be replaced as well or should I replace the player before attempting copies.. Other than noticeable layer changes my trusty 525 has been a real trooper.
3). I bought the software already-DVD X Copy Gold due mainly to very good reviews and 70 dollars in rebates through Best Buy today. Was that a bad idea? It was the last copy they had.
I appreciate any and all feedback.
Regards,
jc
