Does anyone have suggestions about 100% compatile all-in-one type DVD
burners? (Burns all CD and DVD types). The hardware compatibility list isn't
much help on this. And looking up drivers for one product at a time is
daunting.

LG's superdrives burn Dual Layer, Single Layer, DVD -/+r, DVD -/+rw, DVD
RAM, CD R, CD RW. This makes them pretty much "burns all types" in my book.

Are they "listed" somewhere as compatible? Haven't got the faintest clue. I
_do_ know I've got 2 in my desktop machine that work just peachy.

NEC ND-3550A works great. I've got a few of those going.

Got at least 4 Samsungs working without any problems here - and they do
Lightscribe too.

I've got a LG all-in-one. Works great.

Cool, thanks.

Thanks all. That was the last component I needed to pick for a new system.

I bought my Dell E510 about a year ago and switched out the DVD-ROM drive for
a LG GSA-4163B ATA drive because I work with DVD-RAM. The files produced oon
DVD-RAM discs with recorded video have a filename extension VRO (instead of
VOB). I was able to work with the drive in XP, but recently upgraded to
Vista.

Now, If I try to do anything with a VRO file, like even copy it from the
disc to a HDD, I either get a freeze to zombie state (can't shut down) or
BSOD. I couldn't find a revized driver, which I presumed was my need, so I
bought a new burner - the LG GSA-H42LI DVD Multi Burner (Feb '07 Mfgr date)
and am getting the same performance (BSOD) whenever I try to so anything with
a DVD-RAM disc. I'm now thinking that this may be a Vista problem. LG
support is virtually non-exixtent.
