Comments about Pioneer DVR-X162Q 20x External USB 2.0 DVD Burner with Qflix:
I was going to use the drive primarily to burn DVDs. The ROXIO software supplied with the unit never worked properly. The different ROXIO modules Venue & Cinemanow never worked together and they never communicated correctly with the CinemaNow website. I don't know how good the drive is because I haven't found any software that's compatible with it including Nero. I have not been able to burn ant Qflix movies. [...] Because of the software issues, I may have to return the drive since I can't get it to work.

Having been using a pioneer dvd burner for 2 years
with 100% record,which is still working great,and
needing another for a second PC ,I starting looking
for a another,but my local stores,seem to be stocking
real off-brands,that I never heard of. Then I checked
B&H,right there in stock,a beautiful Pioneer,plug and
play,up and burning in 5 minutes. Have not used the
Qflex feature,but I will. A GREAT BUY!!
