...LG GSA 4167B After an old CD-burner made now more and more difficulties, I decided to gain me a DVD-burner and decided at the same time not without reason on the LG GSA 4167B.. ### Contents ### 1. price and equipment 2. design 3. installation and compatibility 4. speed, reliability and other impressions 5. pro & contra 6. result ### 1st price and equipment ### The burner even something climbed in the last months in the price and can be acquired in the moment for something more than 40EURO.

Disadvantages: they hardly work !

...Dont waste your cash on these discs. They are called Tuffdisc, I think it is more like tough-titty when you waste them recording stuff onto them ! Let me explain. So far I have had little joy with these discs, using them on 3 dvd-burners, and the movies being played in 2 stand alone dvd players, also, they are pretty useless for holding operating systems that will boot PCs. Linux and BSD will install from them, slowly, but Windows, (XP and VIsta) just died. They also make a lot of noise when you are playing them in a stand alone player, I dont know if this has any bearing on anything though. The only thing I have used them successfully with, is archiving. They are pretty resilient that way.

This means that a DVD+R or DVD+RW disc recorded in a DVD+R/+RW video recorder can be played in virtually all DVD-Video players or DVD-ROM equiped PCs, and that any DVD+R or DVD+RW disc recorded with data on a PC DVD+R/+RW drive can be read by most DVD-ROM drives. DVD-RAM uses a totally different kind of physical recording method, which is absolutely incompatible with DVD (hence, it can hardly be called 'DVD'). No normal DVD player will be able to read DVD-RAM discs, even if you use the newer DVD-RAM version without a cartridge housing. DVD-R and DVD-RW were initially not designed... Read review
