I got this drive, but am having limited success...
My wife bought the LG from Newegg for me on Black Friday as an early birthday gift.
I have AnyDVDHD installed, and am having no problems ripping ISOs of most of my HD-DVDs (except Transformers), and my Blus. I do see another couple of terabyte drives in my future because of the amount of space being eaten up...
My issue right now is ... all of my blus, whether disc or iso, are stuttering 5-10 seconds every couple of minutes, in the exact same spots. When I mean all, so far I have test-drove the original Hellboy and the first Pirates of the Caribbean movies. My HD-DVDs play GREAT, but are smaller files. (Serenity is AWESOME). I have a 2.66 core2duo XP media center with 2GB of RAM, so I have plenty of juice. I am playing everything back through WINDVD9, using Virtual CloneDrive for the isos (my new favorite application, BTW). Hardware acceleration is full on, so I am suspecting that the culprit is the older GS 7300LE video card I have installed. I am current looking to upgrade to either an 8500 or 8600 in the next few days (birthday gift from my mother in law...).
Does anyone have any other suggestions, or am I pretty much on the the right track?
