U shld go for Pioneer. It is the best DVD writer that can also read scratched discs and it is rated golden buy by digit.

So Pioneer is the best

Samsung Drives, no matter how bad their tray is, is the best of reading scratched discs.

Sony is excellent at error correction, you can consider Sony as well. :)

Samsung is also quite good.

The latest meodel Nos. of Pioneer and Sony please. Samsung I dont prefer since everybody seems to be against it in case of optical drives.

Thanks to you all.

Pioneer should be 109D or greater. I bought a 107D in mid 2004 in Aus for AUD165. It's too old and dated. BTW it's single layer (write) only. 109D's where as cheap as AUD95 in March.

The latest Samsung models have made some revisions to the tray design, and the tray problems have noticeably reduced from before (I personally dont have any tray problems with my Samsung combo).

Go 4 liteon or asus. They have the best error reading capability. I own a asus
dual layer dvd writer which reads scratched dvd's not read by sony dvd roms

Well I just take out the DVD reader from my desktop player and hook it up to my PC. It seems to work the best. Haven't had much luck reading scratched DVD's on any PC ROM drives. Or maybe I do but I am impatient and give up after its been running for 5 hours. But those DVD players, they have turned off error correction and since after 2 tries you cant read the data back properly anyway, it just sends the data it got. PC drives will keep trying for ever to fix the bad data. The only drive you can turn it off on is the Plextors.
