    Burners have limited lifetimes. If you want one you are as well paying for a new one rather than risking a second-hand door stop.

    They will, but I believe you can only play back the recorded disk on the machine which it was recorded on.

    If it would play on another machine I'd be first to buy.

    [DVD-R] [DVD-RW] [+R] The discs become
    play-only and you can also play them on
    other DVD equipment.

    I've got one and you're right. It works fine. The limitation is on the number of copies you're able to make of some programmes.

    Huge thanks. I know what I'm going to buy boxing day!
