For my money, I'd recommend K3b. Recently my neighbour bought a PLEXTOR DVD-WRITER, and installed in my machine. For a couple of weeks. I burnt, and re-wrote (MAXELL) DVD-RW disks without any hassle. When he finally took back the drive, he had to do a firmware upgrade, and some fiddling around with DMA settings, bla, bla on his Windows machine. NOTE:I run ONLY linux here. We simply hooked up the Plextor, and I had the fun of using this drive for a blissful few weeks, no tweaking, nothing. (Though I *should*have enabled DMA). Nevertheless the drive is very FAST under Fedora. K3b is easy enough that even a Windows user can simply click to create DVD data, music, or video disks. HTH, Elton ;-)
