Should I buy the LF-D311 DVD R/RAM?
Hello,
I've been successfully burning movie only a RIPS to DVD-R using a borrowed A03. I am happy with the results using various types of cheap media but they only burn at 1X speed, which is just fine by me. I have no use for DVD-RW or DVD-RAM for that matter. The Panasonic LF-D311 runs a $100 less and appears to meet my limited needs. What are some thoughts regarding the LF-D311 in this particular case? |

I went through the coaster-phase already because both of my DVD players do not support the RW format.
Is there any reason to believe that the the LF-D311 is inferior in quality to the A03? I see that the A04/104 has Buffer underrun protection, but the rest of the improvements seem like overkill for my needs. |

LF-D311 DVD R/RAM
Colby,
I just bought the LF-D311 and one advantage is that the drive can write many times to DVD-RAM. This allows you to create your DVD and then to view it prior to making a bunch of $4 coasters. The DVD-RAM can only be viewed on your PC but it still let's you view your project prior to burning it onto a DVD-R. I'm fairly new so I'll be learing (making mistakes) along the way !! Nomad |

the panasonic uses the same DVD-R as the Pioneer, with same player compatebility and such.
But the Pioneer can burn to DVD-RW as well that can be played and tested on normal players while the Panasonic burn also to DVD-RAM that is not compatible with DVD Players. So using the Panasonic you can't test your DVD prior to the final burning stage. |
