Hello dear all,

I would like to know which burner system is the most appropriate efficiencly to burn all protected or not cd/dvd and with which software (alcoohol 120%, CloneCD+ClonyXXL, ...)

Because now I have a NEC 3500 and I have difficulty to make a copy of my own protected CDs (ex: GTA, Age of Mythology). I heard that NEC 3520 is a good choice for dvd (less expensive) and Plextor 716A is a must for all medias. But moreover NEC 3540 seems to be commercialised in a few months. NEC burners change always without really hardware compatibility (even with new firmware, NEC 3500 would be never like a NEC 3520, so with NEC 3540....), it's really exhausting .

Exist a burner system less expensive than Plextor but have the same advantages ? Maybe Liteon ?
What is your top ten burner for protected or not DVD/CD. So the best combinaison with software ?

Thanks you very much
Nyar

My configuration :
MSI K8N Diamond with Athlon 64 3200+
PNY Geforce 6600GT
Liteon SOHD167
Plextor 116A
Plexwriter 8/4/32
NEC 3500
Sorry but I don't know any firmwares of these materials
