First where is the best place to get one?
What should I look for in one?
What should I stay away from?

Check pricing on www.pricewatch.com
Sony makes one that will burn DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW both. Sounds like a good investment to me.
DRU-500A for internal
DRX-500UL for external

I've heard great things from the A04 which I think Panasonic makes. I'm gonna be picking one up in a few months also, so if anyone else has heard about em, let us know

Pionner A04... or A05 if you want a faster one."There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die." -Hunter S. ThompsonComment

i was told not to buy a dvd burner yet as there was 3 different formats (a bit like the situation with videos vhs/betamax/video2000 etc) and that one of the formats will break away as the standard format some time this year and the other formats will become useless. is this correct?Comment

Yeah go for a sony. It will burn mulitible formatsComment

are you talking about dvd-r and dvd+r? if 'standards' are your concern, go with a burner that does both! ie the sony drives people mentionedOriginally posted by roly

Depends on what you want to do with it. The older format - dvd-r is still better if you want to play your dvd in consumer players. So many dvd-r disks are floating around that it will be years (if ever) before they stop supporting them.Originally posted by roly

Besides, who gives a shit? If in 10 years they aren't widely used anymore, just reburn them. The $230 recorder you buy today will have been in the junkyard for years anyway.
Pioneer is the standard. I have about a dozen of the older 2X.Comment

Works for me. Naturally, I only copy movies I already own, and thus have no use for anyway.Comment

The best site to learn about creating DVD backups is without question www.doom9.org. I would give second place to
http://forums.afterdawn.com/
In a nutshell you only need two pieces of software, dvd decryptor to remove the data from the original dvd and ifoedit which is used to strip elements of the dvd out in order to fit dual layered discs on single layer dvd-r's. The advanced stuff includes recompressing (downsampling) in order to fit all the dual layer goodies like outtakes and director'sc ommentary on a single layer backup discs.

I have the Philips which is plus r and I am very happy with. The DVD's burned on it play on my 3 yrs old dvd player with no problem.Comment

Pioneer A04 internal has worked for me for 1/2 a year. Flawless. I authored a 30 minute documentary shot on DV (using the lesser of all evil DVD authoring programs out there) and burned it in the A04 and it works in every DVD player I've played it in except older Toshibas.
DVD-R. The way to geaux.

I just bought this one a few months ago... Highly recommed it. It lets you "tatoo" the empty space on your disks and it offers all the features of any other top of the line burner out there. I believe they have a very similar internal one as well but the external is usb2 and it screems (44x/24x/44x)
