Hey, guys. I just bought the 06 TL and trying to burn DVD for the music. But, I never had DVD burner nor burned any DVD before. I searched and learned about the formats and the softwares from this forum, but I want to kinda get the idea which burner is ok for me.
- I don't need any professional type kind of dvd burner (don't need top of the line)
- all I need this for is to burn dvd for my car, nothing else (only music)

Basically, I'm looking very cheap with simple functions that I mentioned. Would anyone recommend it for me? plus where do you get your dvds cheap?

Any help would be very appriciated. Thanks!

 

For Media - Verbatim DVD-R, as far as internal DVD drive, shop locally and check for sales at Frys, Best Buy, Circuit City, Office Depot, Staples, etc. or you can check here.

Go $10 cheaper and get this . No need for lightscribe, as the media is expensive anyways..

As for media, I've only burned a few DVD-A's, but I've used Memorex DVD-R media, and its burned fine (mostly at 4x, haven't tried faster yet). Anything you get should be good, as long as its DVD-R, it should be ok.

 

DVD-R works best for data...including music. DVD+R works best for video.

 

Thanks guys!!! I bought DVDs and the burner you two recommended.
