[newbie] DVD Burners
Hi All, Running MDK 10.0 and want to upgrade my box to a DVD-RW. I have looked at the list of certified DVD's but was wondering if there is really a compatibility problem with any new DVD-RW out of the box. Also I have tried to burn CD's using K3b and it gets to about 93% done and has an error 253 problem. Not every time either, go figure. Any ideas. TIA, B.J.
