Don't get me started on SONY and their BURNT OUT PLAYSTATIONS!! GRRR...Rrrwoof! woof! Grrrr... I'm glad you posted this info because I am currently working on obtaining a burner to pursue a particular goal. However with the tons of burners out there...and the ever increasing sizes of poser files...what is one to do? Readable? RE-writeable? I dunno WHAT to get...then there's the whole DVD writing thing... Anyhow thanks for the warning on SONY who is shameless for NEVER admitting they are screwing the customers...thank GOODNESS poser is made by Meta. PAN~
