Dual-format DVD burner roundup
We're mildly annoyed by the existence of two competing formats for recordable DVDs (only mildly because it's hard to get too put out by something like that), and the inevitable response to the confusing situation wasn't to have everyone get together and settle on one standard or the other, but for manufacturers to start coming out with dual-format DVD recorders that could burn to both DVD-R and DVD+R. Anyway, AnandTech has a roundup of six of the newer dual-format recorders to hit the market, ASUS' DRW-0802P, AOpen's DDW8800, Gigabyte's GO-W0808A, NuTech's DDW-082, Sony's DRU-530A, and Toshiba's SD-R5272. The end up giving the nod to the NuTech, which also heappens to be the least expensive drive in the roundup.
