I currently have the SONY DVD+-R/+-RW drive. I picked it up from BestBuy for about 130$ after rebates about 2 months ago. I have burned about 5 DVD-R media with no issues whatsoever. I have tested it and used it under RH9 and Fedora Core 1. I use K3B for my burning software and use gmplayer for my DVD viewing software. The version of gmplayer that I use (and I *think* all g/mplayer versions) do not support DVD menus. Some other software does but I haven't had the need so I just use gmplayer. K3B does a great job and recognized everything without any hassle whatsoever.
I hope this helps. --T On Mon, 2003-12-29 at 14:52, Tanner Lovelace wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Intrex is selling DVD burners for $100, so I bought one with hopes that it > > will work with Linux.
