I am glad if I can join this Tree but I can't burn DVD. So maybe I can be a leaf. |

if you are interested in this stuff, check Tom's Hardware Guide and search for "DVD burner shootout." I read it maybe a month ago - they really break the area down for you. $150-200 is what you should expect to pay for a drive. I have no idea what the standalones run... |

My +R DVD disks play in older -R machines as far as I know. I haven't had a problem yet. Maybe that's why +R disks are more $. |

-disks are different system than +r disks,
Minus is a bit like BETA system was/used to be,and +is a bit
like the VHS,which beated beta.Minus disks won´t work on¨
the other player. |

Many of the new burners read both -R & +R but only write +R disks. The +R seem to play fine on -R players. |

The Polaid stand alone dvd burner was $399. It was the cheapest. Sony was $499. (This was in a local Best Buy). |

Hey, riff64-I don't have a dvd burner yet. So, can't do hook ups yet.
A stand alone would work drawer to drawer, I think. But, what if you are converting video to dvd, can a stand alone be used? Does any one know?? |

If you want to convert VHS to DVD yous hould look at this:
