Opinions: Pioneer A-05 DVD Burner...
A friend is looking to buy a DVD Burner and is seriously considering the Pioneer A-05, based upon recommendations from others. He asked if I would put up a post for thoughts or opinions on this drive or any other DVD burners in the $200+/- price range. He will be using it with a high end DV Editing setup. Also, any benefits of external over internal other than ease of mobility. IDE better than Firewire or Usb2.0?
TIA |

Go with the Poineer. Never heard of any complaints so far. They make quality products. If you can get it for that price range of around $200 go for it.

I wouldn't buy the A05, it's a minus only drive. Get the A06 instead, that's a dualformat one.
Also there are other nice dvd burners. LiteOn for example makes a plus only drive that burns both +R and +RW at 4x speed, and it costs only 150 or 190, something like that. RJ

What's the difference between minus drives and plus drives? Like these:
DVD-RW/-R or something like that. Can it still do CDRW functions and CDROM stuff? Thanks- kram
