Larry,

The question is what you will be burning onto DVDs. For me, the
cheapest brand possible for most things, because I burn Linux DVDs
whenever a new release comes out. They are essentially throwawys when
the next releases are posted.

For more permanent items like archiving personal data, I would recommend
a long-standing name brand like the Maxell or Verbatim you mention...

Verbatim and a couple of others i can get locale. The weird part is i
used to use Maxell all the time. Then they stopped being sold where i
live, an online is the only place now. So far the drive is working no
problem and no more PIO mode now Ultra DMA mode 2 so thats good. I would
have like to have tried the SMART ERASE part but it's bundled in the nero
8 and this dimension 8200 is a little long in the tooth for the newer
software.
Thanks all!

Well, download and install CDBurnerXP and/or ImgBurn, both free
downloads that work with just about any DVD/CD-RW drive, unlike Nero,
Roxio and other commercial products which often lock you into a certain
choice of drives. Not sure if either has "smart erase." My only
complaint about either is that they are VERY exacting on the capacity of
a CD or DVD blank. When I have to burn a new Linux distro, both
complain that the distro is too large for the capacity of the blank CD.
I use Nero instead, and it burns the CD properly, apparently going a
little bit over on the measured capacity... Ben Myers

I used Imgburn, pretty good. Have not tried the other. Been using easy
media creator for years an except a couple of MS upgrades it did does the
job.Maybe try nero next time.
