Which DVD Recorder,NEC ND4551 or LG LG4166, for specific job

Post by ST Dragon »

Hello,
I’m interested in buying one of these two DVD Recorders, as they’re supposed to be the best in the market at the moment:

NEC ND4551

LG LG4166 Black

I’m mainly interested in backing up my original CD/DVD SONY PS-1, PS-2, and PC-DVD/CD I ROM, Saturn, SEGA CD, NEC PCE Super CD and all my CD/DVD-ROM based games collection (Especially some of my rare original Japanese Shooters) and not so much for computer data, as I’ve solved capacity problems with large Hard Drives.

So which one is more fitting for the job?

Thanks in advance.

I'd recommend a Lite-On, instead. Pretty hackable, reliable and they don't have anything to do with media companies. No executives worried about you making legal copies of your movies.

The software is really important too. I recommend Nero 5.5 (Nero 6 is bloatware) and Alcohol 120.
Don't hold grudges. GET EVEN.

By the way, what's the best burning software to use for PS-1/PS-2 CD/DVD backs ups?

Nero, Alcohol, CloneCD?

I've had some issues with Nero not including the audio tracks session in a RayStorm PSX CD image.
Back then, I used the basic Nero image-creating settings (3 years ago), on a Plextor 16X burner and ended up with a coaster with no audio.

However, the image was created successfully with CloneCD and worked perfectly when I burned it on CD.

I have a tendency in using Verbatim & TDK CD/DVDs, which I consider the best judging from experience, rather than technical facts.

Which do you consider the best?
