Not sure yet what software have Nero at the moment.

And about sony i can't decide it does have nice feature two formats DVD+R & DVD-R , no idea what the difference between two of them :rolleyes: but i have read some bad reviews about Sony and some better ones about Pioneer :( .....hard decision bummer

It's hard to go wrong with the Sony. Where did you read a bad review? Everything I have read so far is positive...

Nero won't do a good job of backing up movies if that's what you want. DVDDecrypter can take an ISO and burn it to a disc which works fine if it's a single layer DVD-5 movie. Dual layer discs require splitting, which DVDXCopy makes much easier.

From what I've heard, that Sony is the be-all-end-all of DVD burners right now.

Yep DVDXCOPY is the best got it already don't ask how :lol:

Still don't see real point for a need of two formats -+ , but thx for input guys :thumbsup:

I might get a good deal on Pioneer DVR-A05 so thats my pick ;)

That's what I have right now and I love it. Just make sure you stock up on 4x DVD-R media because there's a worldwide shortage of it. Check out ebay if you want to get some at a relatively decent price.

It's amazing but I can't find 4x +R media for reasonable prices either. Kinda frustrating actually... I gave up and ordered some Ritek 2.4x for a good price from meritline.com. If you can find 4x +R, it'll cost you a fortune.

BTW, it helps to have a drive to rip with that isn't locked @ 2x. Most DVD ROMs manufactured after 2002 rip discs very slowly. My Toshiba SD-M1612 was one of the ones that had this issue. After going to a Pioneer 106s (good luck finding these in stock) most discs will rip for me in 10 minutes or less.
