Well i have just bought a pioneer dvr 105 and using nero thanx to the help on this forum as i asked the same question a couple of weeks ago. I am still going through the experiment stage on media but data safe/datawrite seem to do the job try a few different manufactures to c what best suits you. Have fun!!!!!

stay away from the {purple} bulkpack media the image dont seem to burn properly and it fades quickly
what i mean by fade is that the image can be excellent one minute and trash the next
i use the {yellow} datawrites good enough for me
and the pioneer dvr 105 is the one i intend getting next

The best place to buy the stuff is ebay .You can get some steals . My friend bought recently an SONY Top the line retail burner for $150 dollars NEW .This one guy didn't put a reserve on this item .

Just stick with a major brand .In dvd writers ,you don't want a no name brand .
here is a few good brands ,
Lite on ,memorex ,sony ,Plextor ,samsung ,tdk,Pioneer ,toshiba ect .

What I would end up doing if I where to buy one is to go to ebay see which one is the cheapest name brand I can get .Hope this helps .

Just buy anything besides an HP - they really suck.
