PLEXTOR is the best!Originally posted by vegeta@15 February 2003 - 06:29
but which is the best company of all
I have burned-out 2 "other brands" of burners in my lifetime, but Plextor is the KING of burners and I am still burning with it.
Here's why!
A Plextor can copy a CD that is copy-protected (as long as you buffer it as an image to the hard drive first). Use the Plextor as the SOURCE and BURNER. A Plextor can read those very weak sectors, and read those intentional errors used for copy protection, then burn those too. Make EXACT copies!
I have averaged one "CD-coaster", per 40 CDs. Not too shabby, eh? Especially when a bad disk is usually human error.
Also, Plextor supports VERIREC, which allows you to increase or decrease the LASER-burning intensity. So if your cheap CD player in your automobile has a problem playing CDs, the VERIREC is your answer.
You can over-burn with a PLEXTOR.
I make legal backups of my store-bought playstation disks with the Plextor. (however, I do have a mod chip for the PSX, back when I used the cheap burner).
One Last Note: Use PRINCO brand disks. Great for making VCDs. I noticed most other cheap off-brands, will burn, but can't play in a VCD player. Your home DVD player, that is in your living, room can play VCDs and probably mp3 files too!
