ZDnet has review three DVD burners, the CenDyne's DVR-104 DVD-RW, the Panasonic LF-D321U and Philips DVDRW208.
While the current DVD burning is complicated because of the rivalizing DVD-R formats, ZDnet tries to help you to make your choice:
Our reviews team looked at an assortment of new drives this week. The Panasonic LF-D321U is a DVD-RAM drive for data backup. It can also write movies to inexpensive DVD-R media, which can be played back in a wide range of DVD drives and players. Too bad the Panasonic LF-D321U can't handle CD-R or CD-RWs as well. |
The Philips DVDRW208 uses the competing DVD+RW format, and doubles as a CD-R and CD-RW drive. DVD+RW is rewritable, but the media costs a little more and is currently not compatible with as many DVD players. Despite the claims on the box, the Philips DVDRW208 doesn't support DVD+R. To be fair, Philips wasn't the only company caught with its pants down on this matter.
Finally, CenDyne's DVR-104 DVD-RW is the latest version of the Pioneer DVD-R/RW drive that started the DVD-burning phenomenon--at about half the original price.
