4.0 out of 5 stars Good Burner, even on an old machine., December 29, 2006

This review is from: I/OMagic IDVD168DL - Disk drive - DVD­±RW ±R DL 16x/8x/16x IDE internal Dual Format Double Layer DVD ReWritable Drive Burner (Electronics)

I installed this burner and the software that came with it on an old Gateway computer (866) that has 384mb of RAM. I have XP pro installed on the old workhorse and it runs great. Adding the burner was super easy. XP did it's thing and installing the software was a snap.
The software that came with it is OK, but I think if I had a more powerful computer and wished to do more video editing, I would want more. But that that's the point of free OEM software, to try to sell you the upgraded version. For me the OEM software does the job.
The burner has trouble with discs (DVD+R) that I have made on my Lite-On 5007 DVD recorder. It reads them for a few seconds, then stops. Seems to happen with all the different programs, including windows. I've tried to copy the files from the DVD onto my hard drive, but so far no luck. To date, that's my only gripe about the burner. I hope to find a solution soon though.

I've burned several discs so far with no coasters. It burns a full 4.7 gig DVD in about 13 minutes, which I think is pretty fast. I have been using HP brand discs, and they work nice.

1/5/07 Update - The drive reads DVD+RW discs recorded on using my Lite-on 5007 DVD recorder. Now I can back up TV shows I wish to keep to my hard drive.

I had purchased this dvd burner as a replacement for my current one that was slowly deteriorating with the drive tray no longer opening.

After I installed this one I noticed I no longer have any problems, it burns good, and was fully compatible with the unit it replaced.

I have no complaints! Exceptional buy!
