Hi folks,
Brand new GL2 owner. Just got my Alienware PC which will be used for gaming and DV editing. Vegas+DVD is in the mail to me as we speak.
As someone brand new to NLE, I have a question regarding what type of DVD burner works best.
I am looking at Plextor as that is the ONLY type of burner I will use. They have both an EIDE(708A) internal, and a brand new 708UF, external firewire.
The Plextor folks tell me that transfer speed-wise, the two drives are identical. However, they say that for video burning the firewire is better due to a constant data stream while writing compared to the EIDE version.
Any opinions on this would be greatly appreciated!
