Don't spend $69, go to newegg.com you can get one for under 50.  They have a sony one there right now that I just bought and it impressed me.  Don't get a lite-on because as I found out the hard way they don't work with certain types of media.

Buy a Hewlett Packard lightscribe DVD R/RW or equivalent. They are only about £35 or so and are the nhottest new thing. You burn the disc one side then you turn it over and burn a title and/or logo on the other side. No colour and you have to buy their own cdrs but doesnt use ink. \nThe alternative is to buy a label maker which I find are rubbish becuase the labels cmoe off, or you buy a CD printer which is a fortune. As for software, "Nero" will do that for you amongst other things and its a great peice of software.

Has it come out yet?\n\nIf it did recently, you may have to wait a little until they start stocking in stores like Wal-mart, Maybe try ebay or amazon.com first if you dont mind used cd's.

Depends on the brand.  Check the warranty.  Also you get what you pay for.  Electronics in the DVD field are improving every day.  Six weeks from now there could be something new in this field.  Go to a reputable dealer and perhaps pay a bit more for the equipment you need rather than a 'cheepie'.

DVDs are the best way for music. CDs wouldn't hold much.\nUse Nero other other software that will make DVD data files.

The best one that I know is DVD x Copy but is kind of expensive but if u don't mind expend an extra $50 is worth it...\n\nstay away from the freeware they usually come with extra bugs, and spyware   (u get what u pay for)

This one is an excellent buy at $38 and supports dual-layer discs, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827106013 and it comes with Nero and PowerDVD.

in modern equipment.....no they are both compatible.  like someone said earlier stay away from house brands......especially with DVD media.  the stored information is much more dense so the quality is more important than with a blank CD.  their are even free utilities that read the quality of the blank media. i would stay with maxell, or verbatim. the link below is to a site that's dedicated to many PC issues, especially DVD burning and quality issues.  i highly recommend you check it out.

If you want a portable DVD burner (which also burns CD's), an external burner is the way to go. They are generally more expensive than internal, but you can use the burner on 2 or more computers, and are portable to use on laptops, etc. \n\nI'm presuming you're from Australia, so retail stores such as Officeworks, Harvey Norman and Bing Lee should have a range of these. Look out for the price, if it concerns you, and brand. Apparently LG is no good, and many cheaper brands work as well as expensive brands such as Sony or Pioneer.

Check out the pc magazines on line, PC Plus is good for a big selection of downloads, (link included) I think I have seen a dvd burning software there when I last visited, not sure if it is freeware though a lot of what they have is freeware.\nhope you find something.

My favorite is the HP DVD Writer because it incorporates Lightscribe technology, which means when your done buring a CD or DVD, you flip it over and it will actually etch a label onto the CD using the laser in the DVD-drive. Cool technology.
