Well, I have no idea if I'll ever record DVD, but I have no reason to
try to avoid it.  I'd assumed whatever I got would be both.  And if I
got to doing DVD I'd want as broad a capability as possibible to try to
avoid not having the very thing I needed at the time..

So you just get what, the cheapest thing you find?  With my Lite-On I
always had to use some generic driver, rather than something actually
matching the drive.  If you like that I suppose it's the way to go.

What brand mobo do you have?  I've had all sorts of problems since I got
my current one, the worst being a failure of Java plugins.

Everything I've recorded on CD has been with CDR/2.  I had to use slower
and slower speeds to get a good burn.  Now it declares a good recording
but there's nothing on the CD.

I've only got RSJCD apparently functioning in the last few days.  I've
never actually got any results from RSJ (It falsely declares a good
recording too).  But once I figured out how in tarnation the thing was
actually supposed to operate (Figuring it out was not at all the fault
of the documentation. That should be in big, bold letters right up at
the top.) I figured it was potentially the way to go.
