[ARSCLIST] What brand of DVD/CD burners do people like nowadays

[Tom Fine <tflists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All:

Sorry in advance for the cross-posts.

The POS Philips burner in my Dell computer made what I hope will soon be its last coaster. I'd like 
to upgrade to something more reliable and less picky about what media it will burn.

I've always had good luck with Plextor but I think someone on ARSC list said Plextor no longer makes 
their own drives and thus quality has gone down, or something to that effect.

So, for listmembers who recently bought a DVD/CD burner, and are happy with it, what kind do you 
have?

I should add, this would be an internal type, the SATA variety. This is Plextor's current entry:

My main uses are making audio CD's and data DVDR's, with an occasional data CDR thrown in the mix 
and occasional copy of a video DVD in the mix.

I use Roxio 7 as my main software but will probably also install Sony's Red Book authoring software 
on this computer to ease some workflow out of the studio computers.
