DVD burner that can duplicate Karaoke (CD+G)
I am looking for a good DVD burner that has the capability of creating, duplicating and playing Karaoke (CD+G).
FYI, I am legally entitled to copy these disks. :)
I'm tired of looking at the specifications for each drive and I've hit dead ends because some web pages just don't offer enough technical information specifically relating to CD+G format.
Ideally, I would like to purchase the LG GSA-4163B (http://www.lge.com/catalog/prodmodeldetail?actType=search&page=1&modelCategoryId=CTG1000658&categoryId=CTG1000500&parentId=CTG1000439&modelPrefix=400000&globalCode=GSA-4082B&globalSuffix=000000&model=NOTHING)
but I cannot tell if this unit will work.
Note: I see that Karaoke is a supported format with the GSA-4163B but is that just reading or can it write to the CD+G specifications as well?
What I require:
- Compatibility with most major formats including: DVD burning, CD+G
- must be an easy to purchase brand and not already obsolete. Order of preference: LG, Lite-On, HP, Sony, etc..
Also... bonus question (extra 75pts):
Please recommend a good program for duplicating CD+G and creating CD+G media (may be separate programs).
Thank you,
SDC

Thank you, I'm actually an owner of Alcohol 120% (great prog!) but I wasn't aware that it was good for CD+G.

Thank you again but I'd rather avoid Plextor because of my difficulty in purchasing one and besides, I've read about a lot of problems with many Plextor's including this model.

I'll try for the Plextor....
http://singclean.com/microstudio.htm#BURNER - this site led me to that conclusion (thank's to originalbiffmalibu KJ suggestion).
http://www.mtu.com/basics/karaokecdr.htm#DVD - this site also sells the Plextor and offers a list of other compatible CD-Burners
I increased my points to split evenly!
Thank you everyone!
