Tom,
Be careful also when searching for a cdg compliant burner. I got burned by Acer. They advertise their burner as able to do Karaoke. It does, but not CDG. It is formatted for VCD. After a month of haggling with their support people who didn't know any different, I found that out when I got to talk to one of their engineers.
I told him that consumers thought in terms of CDG when it came to Karaoke(this was three years ago), and their advertising needed to be changed. I was told very pointedly they were within their legal rights because their burner did work with a form of Karaoke, and they would not change their advertising, and did not nor would they ever support CDG.
You should have no trouble guessing what he said when I asked him what they were going to do about mine....nothing.
Luckily when I ordered the burner through a local shop, I specified I wanted a CDG compliant burner, so they ate it, not me.
Be specific, if you deal elsewhere, regarding CDG is all I took the long way to say. Karaoke is too broad a term.
Play it safe as Gary advised, and buy an MTU CDG certified burner. That's what I wound up doing, and have done ever since, and with no hassles.
Take care,
George
