Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Iomega Super DVD Writer 12X Dual Format USB 2.0 external drive is the only drive you need to save and share your videos, photos, music and data. Now, transferring home videos, photos, music and other files from the computer to the living room DVD player becomes virtually effortless. Plus, with its Double Layer (DL) technology, you can double your DVD capacity up to 8.5GB on a dual layer, single-sided DVD+R disc.

Not only will the Iomega Super DVD Writer Dual Format USB 2.0 external drive save you time with its faster writing speeds, but it will also save more data than ever before. With its Double Layer (DL) technology you can save up to 157 hours of music, over 4 hours of digital video, or 34,000 photos. The Iomega Super DVD Writer will also save you from the frustration of typical DVD/CD burning by providing you Iomega HotBurn Pro software for easy CD burning, Sonic MyDVD and Cineplayer for video editing, authoring and playback, and Iomega Automatic Backup for hassle free back-ups . The DVD Wizard quickly and easily walks you through the entire process and eliminates any guess work. DVD burning has never been more fun.

With the software you get FREE with your Iomega DVD drive, you can record from a VHS player or camcorder to create DVDs or VCDs. An external video capture device or integrated video capture capability is required.

The DVD wizard, included FREE with your drive, takes the guesswork out of what software application to use for burning DVDs and CDs, creating and editing videos or photo slide shows, watching videos, ripping and burning music CDs, or automatically backing up your data. Just choose the task you want to do and the electronic DVD wizard launches the correct software title for you. It even helps you pick the type of disc that is best suited for your task!

5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly, October 12, 2004

This review is from: Iomega Super DVD Writer 12x Dual-Format USB 2.0 External Drive (33044) (Personal Computers)

This is my first experience with a DVD Writer, so the one star review really made me think twice about buying this product. I checked some other product reviews online and they were good, so I went on and bought this model, having been pleased with other Iomega products. It installed perfectly and so far everything I've tried to do has worked fine. I am very pleased with how easy it is to use. No doubt it will be obvious to most people since it is in the title, but you do need to have the USB 2.0 connection (it does not work with the earlier USB version).

This review is from: Iomega Super DVD Writer 12x Dual-Format USB 2.0 External Drive (33044) (Personal Computers)

I bought this device and it failed to work with my standard Dell laptop running Windows XP. After various attempts by the Iomega help line to get it to work (they tried), they admitted it had a problem and told me to wait whilst they shipped a new one. No way did I want risk wasting more time with a similar drive. So I replaced it for a Philips (8x series) and that worked first time. The Philips uses Nero software and they work well togther.
