LG 4040b DVD-burner media
A very comprehensive table of media (Maxell/Sony/TDK..) for the so called "4x" LG 4040b burner,
http://www.pics1.de/4040B.html Depening on media and disc type you will get anything from 1x to 2x to 2.4x to 4x burn speed. /magnus

Hi there,
Are you happy with this burner Magnus? I'm very close to bying it (or even the new LG4081 which is already sold in Japan 8x +R). Can you give some impression - is it compatible with Vegas and DV architect if you work with them for example. Drive noise, error rate, etc. Thank you, Bogdan |

Bang for the buck...
CHIP, germanys biggest computer mag, compared 10 multi-units and the 4040b (120 euros) was rated as number 2, after the winner plextor 708A (200 Euros)
http://www.chip.de/artikel/c_artikelunterseite_10973088.html?tid1=9244&tid2=0 I'm very happy with the unit, not too noisy, writes 4.7GB DVD-RAM at 3x, installs with standard WinXP ASPI-drivers, works fine with Nero 6.0, is recognized but not officially supported by Vegas DVD Architect (but I use DVDlab which is outstanding for USD 99 with effortless / wizards for motion menus and chapter menus ) "Slow" 32x CD read, but writes a DVD-R in 14 minutes, and a DVD-RW which it writes at 1x speed (duh..) plays well in the Dansai DVD-player... Highly recommended.
