Hello all,
I'm sure this has been asked a lot of times previously, but I need to
buy a DVD burner in a couple of days. The choice is between LG and Sony.
I'm just wondering which drive would be better with Gentoo. (I've heard
about problems with Mandrake and LG drives in the past! So, I'm a litt
Don't know if that's of any help, but I've been using an LG CD burner
for quite a while without any problems whatsoever... but, then again,
I don't know about the differences between that and their DVD
burners...

The problem with LG drives was limited to CD-RW drives. It wasn't

I've been using several LG DVD writers in the past, none of which
caused any trouble. The Quality isn't as poor as some people might
suppose, I have never wrecked a blank DVD with it, nor hab trouble
reading DVDs.
The models I used were LG-GSA4082B (8x writer) and LG-GSA-4163B (16x DL writer)

Hi,
I have 2 LG drives here (one CDRW and one DVDRW) - both are working
perfectly for me, better than windows even!
This DVD is one of the dual layer 16x all format ones (can't remember
teh model number)
Can't comment about Sony ones, never had any problems from LG - so if it
ain't broke... i a
My $0.01 plus tax...
Two inexpensive brands of hardware that I have always found to do

SIIG

LG I don't know, so I can't say. Sony is always

My standalone DVD unit only supports DVD-R, so I haven't checked yet.

Thanks to all the people who replied. I finally bought the LG GSA-4163B.
Interestingly, it must be the only component in my system that isn't
made in China. This thing's made in Japan. Interesting! Well, I haven't
