Panasonic DVD Burners

Panasonic DVD burners support the DVD-RAM standard as do the standalone DVD recorders from the company. However, Panasonic has followed the multiformat trend with its burners, and now has drives with support for all the DVD Forum endorsed formats (DVD-RAM and DVD-R/-RW).

According to the company, the line-up of drives consists of:

* SW-9582-CVC DVD Multi Drive* SW-9572-CPN DVD Multi Drive* SW-9571-CYY DVD Multi Drive* LF-D311 Combination DVD-RAM / DVD-R drive* LF-D211V DVD-RAM drive* LF-D291N DVD-RAM drive* LF-D101 DVD-RAM drive

Panasonic's owner, Matsushita, also owns JVC that has a lot of technological know how and brand value in the DVD sector.

The Panasonic brand burners have DVD-RAM format and the multiformat burners from the company also have the DVD-R/-RW capability. There's also another major standard, the DVD+R/+RW standard, endorsed by Philips, Dell, HP, and other members of the DVD+RW Alliance.

If you're unsure about the major strenghts and weaknesses of each of these standards, the best places for information are the industry group web sites for these standards. These web sites include:

* ramprg.com (RAM Promotion Group, for DVD-RAM information)* dvdforum.org (DVD Forum, for DVD-R/-RW information)* dvdrw.com (DVD+RW Alliance, for DVD+R/+RW information)

For best prices, you should start your research at one of the available price comparison engines. In addition, the Panasonic web site will help you quickly find a dealer/reseller near you, and they operate a specialty online store that carries a large selection of hard to find Panasonic products.
