DVD Recorder Drives

[tonyw]

Does anyone have any thoughts on a suitable drive to record DVDs? There are a couple on the market, like the Sony DRU500A and the HP DVD100i, but they're only available with Windows support, of course.

Has anyone any experience with DVD recording, preferably in a Windows-free environment?

Thanks guys. I think the Ricoh MP5125A is the only way to go. It has a better writeup than all the others, suports most formats and is cheaper to boot. I've never had any trouble with my MP9060A DVD/CD drive.

As for software, unless you are prepared to run Windows, there just isn't anything at all. What I want the DVD record feature for is to transcribe all my movies from tape, before they all die of old age. Like transcribing all my old vinyl records onto CD.
