I'm looking for advice on buying a DVD burner for my laptop (WinXP, 850MHz
Pentium III; external USB port). The research I've done seems to suggest
that the Plextor 708-UF might be best bet since it is the fastest multi-
format burner. Is it dependable? What other models might I want to look
at, especially if I want to go cheaper? What is the most cost-efficient
format to burn in? If you take the time to answer, please consider as well
the cost of additional software if a burner comes bundled with crappy
stuff.
Mostly I am interested in 1) backing up my entire system and 2) in
consolidating my MP3 collection onto a small number of disks to free up
space on my hard drive. I am sort of interested in burning movies
eventually, perhaps to share with my friends, but this is not my first
priority.
Thanks in advance to anyone who choses to respond.
