Magandang Araw mga kakosa! ;D
Maari po bang makisalamuha sa inyo't malaman kung ano ang pinaka-MALUPET na DVD Writer/ROM?
Yun pong madaling makabasa ng mga piniratang cds-dvds.
Sa ngayon po ay LITE-ON Lightscribe ang aking ginagamit, at aking aaminin.. na ito'y isang walang ka kwenta-kwentang Writer/ROM. >:( :'(
Sana po ako'y inyong matulungan.
Nagmamaha.. este Maraming Salamat! :D
pi-es. Maari po din bang malaman kung sino sa komunidad na eto na gumagamit ng Windows XP Media Center 2005 SP3, Dahil ako'y interesadong baguhin ang aking sistema, ang akin lang ay.. Maaari pabang makapag Download at gawin ang mga bagay-bagay na nagagawa sa normal na Windows XP Pro na sistema ???

i have been using benq for 3 years na ata. never had problems with it.
-
Unang DVD writer ko ay Lite-On. Pinakamagaling na writer na yan noon.
Nang medyo nalalaos na ang Lite-On, sumubok ako ng BenQ. Maganda naman; mas mahusay ito sa Lite-On.
Ngayon, Samsung ang writer ko. Mas magaling nang konti ito sa BenQ.
Pero ang pinakamahusay daw ngayon ay ang LG. Hindi lang ako makasubok nito kasi wala yatang nagbebenta ng LG writer sa Greenhills.

Been using LG DVD writer for more than a year now. No prob so far after burning around 200+ DVDs & CDs.

LG subok ko na. Hindi namimili ng DVD+R / DVD-R.
Compared sa isa kong Samsung na SATA. Yung mga luma kong DVD+R/-R
4X na cdrking brand ayaw i-burn.
Buti pa yung laptop ko kahit mabagal naibuburn pa rin. Yung 4X 15-16 mins

I'm using Samsung now. My Lite-on crapped out on me after a year.

Iyun' dalawang Liteon kona naka lightscribe, bumigay bago mag isang taon, tapos pina-warranty ko, eh' tinagalan nang dalawang linggo, kaya bumili na ako nang LG, OKs na Oks wala parin pina-palya.
Ngayon, napalitan na nang bagong Liteon kaya may dalawa akong external DVD writer ngayon, kaya sila ang palagi kong ginagamit para masira ulit tapos pa-palitan muli nang Liteon. :D ;D
(OO' nga pala kaya ako die hard sa Liteon dati kasi siya lang ang pwede mong i-region free, iyun iba kailangan mo pa nang ibang software, sa Liteon salpak na lang nang salpak)
Ang Acer X3200 Hitachi and Optical na nakalagay,hirap siya sa mga generic. :P

mura na lang pala. how long ba is the usual life of a dvd writer/rom? im still using a cd writer/rom (more than 2 years na)

Both DVD writers of my main desktops are made by NEC. One has been a workhorse since 2005 pa and still working well. But I just discovered during the holidays it has issues with Memorex brand disk. The other brands sold by CD-R king are OK naman.

Anybody using External DVD writer? Im planning to get one for my Atom based mini-ITX PC.

I've converted the DVD writers replaced by Liteon to an external writer, they've so far given good performances, well,maybe because they're replacements(brand new) for the faulty unit I bought that didn't last a year
I've bought 2 external DVD writers before costing around 5K(think it was 2 years ago) but they fared badly,(can read/decrypt, but has almost 90% burn fail)and my take is that this writers get their power supply via the usb,which seemingly is inadequate when burning Iso files, in fact some of the successful burns were faulty as they end with corrupt files, even if Nero/DVD decrypter certified that they were successful burns, thus, my reason for sticking it out with the 3.5 converted to 5.2 enclosured external DVD writers.
Nowadays, there are new beautifully crafted DVD writers made by Samsung and LG, although they still get their power from the usb, according to the leaflet I've read, it was designed for Atom based PCs and Netbooks.(probably can withstand the limited power since it has no internal opyical drive and the processor is energy efficient,unlike the older laptops that I used), however, I have not tried any of these.(costs around 4.5K)

meron bang external dvd writers na meron separate power supply?

meron bang external dvd writers na meron separate power supply?
i think it comes with it po....Started using for Lacie dvd dual layer writers since 2002 pa yata..stable naman ...Nec yata ang brand sa loob..Pioneer(internal for Mac) and Sony(internal/external) writers are ok too....sabi nila Plextor is one of the best din saw but never tried them ;)
-
been canvassing for a dvd writer replacement for my lite-on so far they range 1.3k - 1.4k (samsung, lg) villman & pcx stores.
LG External (http://www.rsun.com.ph/view_item.php?item=CDR451)
saw this one on sale at Rising Sun, maganda kaya?
-
i've been using my lg gsa-h10 for almost 4 years na. flawless burns pa din on cheap dvd and cd-rs.
-
My brother-in-law gave me his spare Samsung internal DVD writer. I found an external DVD writer casing in SM Megamall cyberzone for 1.1K. It had an external power supply, and connects the DVD writer via USB to my laptop. I haven't tried to burn any disc yet, though. As fas as reading discs, di pa naman nagkakaproblema...

Pre kamusta? Sayang you missed our reunion last December. :)
I've tried all other brands but nothing beats the performance of Pioneer dvd writers. Sadly, can't find one nowadays. :'(

been using a BEN-Q for four years, ayus pa rin
-
yung lite-on dvd writer/rom namin wala pang one year bumigay na. >:( i think i'll switch to lg. madami akong nababasang good feedbacks and recommendations sa mga optical drives nila.

Maganda LG, good overall performance with DVD and DL pero wala masyadong firmware updates. Kung burning lang gusto niyo and wala masyadong ibang features this'll fit the bill nicely. As for CD burning depende sa model na bibilhin, pero usually 16x lang yung speed na matino yung quality ng discs. LG ko 2.5+ years and over 350 discs burned.
Samsung is good with DVD and DL too except their 22x burners make burns that are worse than their 20x models. Kung 20x model marerecommend ko, yung 22x models hindi. Maganda din magburn CDs kahit ano sa 20x or 22x models basta hindi sagad sa speed (52x). Samsung 20x ko nasira within a year (spindle motor problem) and napapalitan agad - mga 1 year na now and 250+ discs burned.
Pioneer is really good with DVD and DL discs, problema hindi lang makahanap masyado dito sa Pinas and wag kayo bibili nung 116/216 series - sayang lang sa pera yung series na yun. CDs maganda din, pero as mentioned before at least doble siya sa price (3k-4k brand new) dahil hindi siya normally binebenta dito. Yung Pioneer kong 4x writer 3 years and 500+ discs burned. Recommended if you have the money.
LiteOn... eh. DVD decent, don't waste your time with DL discs with newer LiteOn units. Yung mga bagong 20x iHAP/iHAS hindi maganda magburn ng DL and CDs, disente nga lang sa DVDs pati. 6months LiteOn ko and I only use it for really bad DVD discs (mga no-name and CDR-King brand) at hindi ako masaya sa quality. Yung mga bagong 22x na iHAP/iHAS mas maganda, nagsisisi ako na binili ko ito. Primary use right now is for scanning and ripping discs kasi ito pinakamabilis at those tasks. 100+ discs burned. Don't even attempt to burn CDs with this, kung need magburn ng CDs 16x lang para mabasa.
Sony/Optiarc is my best DL DVD burner, kapareho ito ng chipset (NEC) with the Pioneer pero sobrang mura (OEM). Ingat lang kasi yung ibang Sony/Optiarc hindi NEC yung chipset and rebadged na LiteOn lang. Good CD burner at mid-speeds. Highly recommended pero out of stock na dito sa Pinas. Yung 24x nito maganda din, pero hindi pa lumalabas. 4months used and over 200+ discs burned. One of my favorite drives, super cheap.
ASUS nung binili ko na bago (20x) nadiskubre ko na LiteOn rebadge lang din - and since may iHAS akong hindi ako masaya pinapalitan ko agad ng iba. Dati maganda mga ASUS nung ginagamit nila Pioneer units to rebadge, pero now I can't recommend it since LiteOn na din siya. Kung makakahanap kayo nung mga lumang 16x na ASUS mga Pioneer yun, mga 20x/22x LiteOn na din. Performs the same as the LiteOn (kasi LiteOn nga siya!) so not recommended.
The best talaga yung BenQ na 16x - I still have 3 DW1640 (purchased 2004-2005) and an external Sony rebadged EW164B (2005) na mas maganda pa burns sa iba kong bagong drives now (kung gagamit ka ng magandang discs - like Verbatim). Wala pa din akong masasabi - except na sana hindi nagmerge ang BenQ sa LiteOn. :( I use my BenQs now and then for high-quality DVD/DL/CD burns and scans. Wala ka nang mahahanap na ganito uli ever. 4-5 years nang buhay with an aggregate total discs burned of 3000+ (mga 600 per drive) since purchase. Sad na wala na ito, ang dami pa namang features.
Yung pangmaster ko ng discs Plextors - over sa mahal ($250) pero sobra sa rami ng features and extended controls and kakaiba ang quality sa burns. Hindi ka makakahanap nito sa Pinas, binili ko ito abroad. Ginagamit ko pa din hanggang ngayon for that very same purpose. Bumili ako kasi yung 2001 Plextor CD-writer ko hanggang ngayon gumagana pa, and mahilig ako mangalikot sa settings. :) Kung kaya mo, sulit ito. :D
So ayan, from my varied experience of DVD writers from 2001 til now that's what I've concluded. Hope this helps. :)

my 4 year old LG suddenly stopped reading/recognizing an disc (burned or blank)...
I would like sana to have an external dvd writer so I can use it with other PCs but what is the best way to "build" an external dvd writer? May nabibili ba external case for dvd writers like those used for hard discs?
-
Yes, my 2 RMA Liteon were converted to be an extrenal DVD writer and right now since they have a dedicated power supply, they have more successful burns (than my recent LG SATA DVD Writers)with my cheaply acquired DVD+R and DVD-R.
The casing is now so cheap, the ones for IDE goes for only 450 to 650pesos.
For SATA writers I think it's higher.
You'll have to buy the 5.2" size casing, almost all PC shops including CDR King(but don't know about their quality) sells them. Installing the writer is very easy, in fact the casing always comes equipped with the specified screws and even a screwdriver.

Jojo, any chance you can check the data cable? this happened to a lite-on drive, which i thought defective for a long time, culprit pala was the ide cable :-\

Oh ok, so it's just like what I did to my old 40gig internal hdd. My LG DVD writer is an ide pa, but the mb already accepts sata drives...
I've heard that the external dvd writers (those slim ones powered via usb) are a bit unreliable? I'd like to build an external burner because my laptop's drive is being quickly consumed due to my downloads but I don't want to burn a lot of discs with the laptop's writer so this is probably the best solution for me.
Thanks man...

Yes I can! Never thought of that... ;D This is worth to try and won't cost me anything...
Thanks for the tip, will post the results later bro...
Thanks!
EDIT:
Too bad, I replaced the ide cable with a known good one but it still doesn't read. I even swapped the dvd writer to another pc but to no avail. Seems like the disc isn't spinning when the tray closes... hay... ;D

sorry to hear that bro, it was worth the try though
-

yes it was indeed. and the good thing is that the LG was worth it, so many burned dvds with that one.
now I'm thinking of setting up something like what Alfie uses so the writer can be used with different pc's in the house.
thanks!

Which do you think it's better to get, a branded external drive or an internal drive + 5.25" external enclosure? The latter is cheaper though and comes with it's own power supply too.
-
I actually have no experience with slim external drives, but i have used a sony writer with enclosure at the office, i actually preferred the enclosure type because it a lot cheaper before (externals used to be more than 5k), it was easier for me to ask for office approval.
Disadvantage of the enclosed one for me was it was too bulky. go for slimmer external if you prefer a more portable one, besides the slim type is more pleasing to look at. But I've read somewhere there were burn problems with a usb powered one, maybe they corrected this already. at may warranty naman :)
Let's wait for concrete feedback from someone with actual experience with slim types.
-
I want the drive to have it's own psu and not draw power from the laptop.
I guess i'll go ahead and try the internal drive + enclosure combo, table space is not a problem pa naman.
Post ko results, good or bad hehehe... ;D
-
good luck bro

internal drive + 5.25" external enclosure --> mas cheap ata eto.
Pero kung me mahanap ka nun plextor mas maganda yun pero alam ko mas pricey siya. a client bought 2 units from me burned almost a thousand CD's hanggang sa sumuko na yun tray mechanism pero nag bu burn pa rin. Iniwan na lang ng disti yun product na yan kasi masyado mahal ibenta dito sa atin.

May plextor ako dati kaso scsi pa hehehe, mahal nga talaga sir. I also have two yamaha external cd writer but scsi din ang interface nun enclosure kaya hindi ko ma-convert para gamitin as external drive. Ganda pa naman yun all metal casing and sturdy power supply.
Oh well, hope success itong gagawin ko... need ko na talaga mag burn. ;D
-
good luck bro
thanks bro

Got myself a liteon iHAP322 dvd writer and a 5.25" enclosure this afternoon. Burning data on 10 dvds and still going.
Ok pala ito sobrang plug and play... ;D
