Hi Ted, What is sonic, is it costly and where do I get it?

For example, on some CDRW's it is extremely conservative, throttling back to 4X. Couple this with the fact that I have it set to copy to the hard disk first, and discs can take a little time, but the results are worth it. Since buffer problems are virtually a thing of the past, I guess I'm more conservative than I need to be, but I've never been disappointed.

I have heard that I might need sighted assistance with the burner installation software if it contains any installation software and I was just wondering if anyone knows of a good external burner.

I believe that the problem is the media type. You have 8x DVD's for burning and your DVD drive is set too high. Just put it back to 8x and you should have no other problems. I personally have mine set to 4x as to have better burning quality with less problems.

I have tried to burn a 16x DVD-R in my DVD Burner and Nero just ejects the DVD saying that it is the wrong speed or type. I can burn 8x DVD-R just fine and don't know if this is a glitch in Nero, or if I need a different burner. If I do need a different burner, I was wondering if any of you have had any luck using an external USB DVD burner. If so, was there any difficulty with the installation software and JFW? Finally, if you know of an accessible external USB DVD burner, what is the brand and model?
