Does anyone have any recommendations for such a thing?
I'm considering the Nu-tech HDW-081. |

Dvd Writers:
Speeds: 2X, 4X, 8X, 12X.
4X burns a DVD in 13 minutes.
Capacity: 4.37 Gigs (actual)
DVD+R (technically superior, marginally). A little more expensive than DVD-R.
DVD players are based on DVD-r format. New players will play DVD+R/-R.
DVD writers come in dual format or single format.
You will need USB 2.0
An 8gig DVD writer is coming out soon.
I recommend that you buy a premium burner (with great reviews)because they will write on more discs...some burners are very very fussy.
I use a Plextor 504UF 4X external DVD+R burner. I use it as an external hard drive (for big but seldomly used programs) through virtual CD/DVD, backing up digital photos (8000 pics / 500KB each), DVD movie back ups, music backup, and data backup.
Roxio Easy CD and DVD Creator 6 is an easy DVD backup program to use.
You will have to make your own selection of software when backing up your DVD movies.
Good luck!
