If I ignore the cdg aspect of things, this drive has done everything I ask it to including ripping and writing backup copies of my dvd's. But I found this non-refurbished drive by Memorex at a price that is close to the bargain I just mentioned, and like I say, it seems to do everything. So I have a drive that does seemingly everything everywhere I go, and one that does everything (except cdg) wherever I go for a total of about $100. Somehow I will find a way to take advantage of my many blessings!!
