I have a Plextor PX-708A. I use it mostly for playing DVDs (gaming) and writing backup DVDs for data. I don't do any copying or editing. Just Data. This PX-708A came with the basic Roxio Easy CD and DVD Creator 6. I don't like it as it can give problems. For instance if you inadvertantly drag a file that is larger than the remaining capacity of the CD-RW disc, it will ruin the disk and you can't erase -reformat or anything. It's a coaster. Is there a good software program that is reliable without me having to by all of the video bells and whistles?
