LG was Philips.
I have finally quit with fireWire/USB 2.0 External DVD±RW Drives. I experienced very high quality burns but never got much true speed. It seems that USB 2 and firewire on Windows is just slow. I decided to try internal on the cheap. I will not be turning back.
The install is simple. Remove both side of the case. Remove old drive and pay attention to the slots and way it was in, including connections. Slot this into rack and connect it up the same way as the old. Reboot and you have a spanking new x16 DVD burner with DL capability.
DVD9 is what Hollywood uses to make their discs. In the burning world we have DVD-R + R media called DVD5. DVD 5 is around the half the size of a DVD9. This means that when you backup your movies to DVD-R, you need to compress with programs like DVDshrink in conjunction with Nero Burning Rom. Most films can be compressed or DVDs stripped to produce 80% to 100% quality viewing. However on some films they are so big and fast that sometimes the compression can be down as low as 60%. Now 60% compression with DVD Mpeg is not bad but 80% is quite acceptable and 99% of films work great on standard DVD-R. So burning with this hardware is no problem - quality movies is the end result, but if you want pure 100% quality, then be prepared to pay for it with Double Layer technology. Check out the price of Single Layer and then the Double Layer DVD Discs. Haha - as you can see the Discs are the catch because they cost a bomb - but anyway you have a right to know that this technology exists and also that it is easier to use (Direct copy; no compression).
What makes this burner so good is that it is cheap and yet built like a rock. LG are getting good reviews these days.
