Hi,
Just to add to the question, I've heard that DVD writers work just like a hard drive in that they don't require any special software to write to them.
Thats only on DVD RAM drives (Although OS4.0 is going to have a program to simulate that on standard DVD R/RW drives)
I currently use a DVD RAM drive on my A4K and it works great, main problem is I cant write UDF discs (Althogh thanks to the software which came with my Powerflyer I can read them)
But I can format the discs as standard Amiga hardrdrives and use it the same.
DVD R's and RW's need a program like Burn it before they can be used on the Amiga and none exist yet for DVD's.
I don't know if the DVD recorders from pcs are suitable for Amiga
Hardware wise they all work just great, Software wise, well the Amiga doesnt have a UDF reader as standard (which is the format for most DVD's) so you will either need to buy Allegro from Elbox (which is very good) to read DVD's although Amp2 (and others?) can read from a DVD directly.
As for recording, well as mentioned DVD RAM's can be used as standard harddrives (But for the love of god dont try to transfer data from a PC or Mac to an Amiga using one, although it is ment to be possiable)
you cant record to DVD R's or RW's yet although OS4.0 I belive is ment to fix that.
PS: DVD RAM Rules!!!
