"a DVD burner for making video DVD's that will play in many different dvd players."
Sorry, this is where DVD went to lala land. The struggle of plus, minus and DVD-RAM left the DVD players strewn around the landscape that some with play the plus, some the minus and some will play no recorded DVDs.
As it stands, you can do as we do and keep a customer database and send then both PLUS and MINUS the first time and ask they tell you which to send in the future. If it's a demo we send, then we send DVD-R since it seems to play most of the time.
There is no cure except to move to factory made DVDs but we haven't had the volume to need to do that.
As to what DVD recorder, I have a Pioneer that's nice, but the last one is some TEAC I picked up for 45 bucks, does multiformat, 8X recording and works just fine.
Some will overanalyze what recorder to buy. Meanwhile, mine and the office units just work.

hello all,
I need to buy a DVD burner for making video DVD's that will play in many different dvd players. I have premiere 6, firewire, a sony trv38 camera, win 2000, amd 2200 cpu. won't be doing a lot of stuff, so I need to balance speed and price. but I'm not against paying more for more overall quality.
any suggestions on brands/ models? eager to hear your experiences good and bad - fj
