Bought one of these last week. Nice burner, and did the right thing in buying the retail version so that I got all the nice software. Came with Ulead software, and while I won’t use much of it (Adobe Premiere Elements kicks butt over VideoStudio IMHO), DVD Workshop seems pretty cool. Only problem is that some widescreen clips (16:9) are recognised as 4:3, and there don’t seem to be any way to change it. Oh, and while there’s software for burning DVD-Videos, there’s no software included for burning normal data discs! Looks like I’ll have fork out for Nero… eventually.

I’ve just been on holidays for a week or so, and wile I was away, my work PCs cracked the one year mark in the World Community Grid! Next milestone will be getting within the top 1000 members by points generated…
