Based on volcs0's post here: http://forums.macresource.com/read.php?1...msg-647821 I picked up some HD DVDs cheap and I'm hoping to get them onto my hard drive to watch (and hopefully burned to a regular DVD eventually). So I'm looking for a DVD drive that will read HD-DVDs and wondering what my best option is?
It looks like the XBox HD-DVD player might work, but then all it can do is play them. If I could find a reasonably priced drive that was also a burner I'd just upgrade my old NEC external EIDE drive (doesn't even burn DL DVDs, that's how old it is). It doesn't need to burn HD-DVD or Blu-ray, just read that format.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
