dunno - http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/hcn.html seems to have some info. (probably yes just fine)
rpc1.org seems to suggest that the sony dru-700a I bought is a rebadged liteon. the region free liteon patchy thing seemed to work fine.
How portable are the disks? Will they write single layer disks as well which can be read on "normal" DVD drives?
yeah its a single-layer dvd burner as well as cdrw etc
the disks are pretty similar to the ones you rent at the video store.
http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1594133,00.asp that review seems good enough. thats the drive I got. its a sony.
I'm considering getting one, but was going to wait until they got a little more stable/available - but at $165, that'd do nicely.
that was my price. I saw them in megamart for $255 I think - but who would by there :)
