I'm using a NEC ND2500 -/+RW DVD 8x writer (price about �140-�150) It's running without any problems under Linux. I've burned a lot of CD's and DVD's with it, and also the creation of selfmade DVD's is no problem. > Also, has anyone heard anything about when those nifty new dual-layer > burners that can burn both layers of a DVD up to 9GB will be > commercially available and how much they will run for? I've read, that the price of the double-layer medias will be not much higher than for the single-layer ones. And with a firmware upgrade it should be possible to write these medias with a "normal" 8x writer, because the laser of this writers should be strong enough, to burn the second layer. So I'm waiting for these double-layer medias, and hope the best. :) cu
