I needed to buy a DVD burner last week — it is the Year of the DVD Burner, after all — and unfortunately I had to do so without the benefit of the DVD burner roundup published recently by Tom’s Hardware Guide. Fortunately, I’m more confident than ever that I made the right choice.
As I’ve pointed out before, Tom’s Hardware Guide has demonstrated a disturbing lack of understanding about MPEG-4, but they understand hardware much better. The article covers these six DVD burners:
- Philips DVDRW228(DVD+R/RW)
- Pioneer DVR-A05 (DVD-R/RW)
- Ricoh MP5125A (DVD+R/RW)
- Sony DRU120A (DVD+R/RW)
- TEAC DV-W50E (DVD-R/RW)
