I read the same thing....and my gf did some searching and people's reviews at cdfreaks.com was that it is decent, not the best, but good for the price.

This may belong in the Tech forum but I figured the answer may also benefit those looking at this deal...
Is there such a thing as Dual Layered Read/Writeable discs? If so, any bargain on just a few? I'm experimenting a lot these days with home videos as well as instructional videos and would like to have the added storage. However, its great to have the RW format so that once I check the final product out on a couple of different players that are used, I can simply reuse the Media.
thanks.

This may be a silly question, but are these pretty universal in terms of size? I have been looking to get one to put into my computer, just wasnt sure if it would fit in my computer...

DVD burners are pretty universal in terms of size. However if you have a problem with the length of a standard burner Lite-Ons are significantly shorter. I put a Lite-On reader in a small, cramped computer for just that reason.
