DVD/CD writer for MAC

Hi, I wanna get a DVD/CD writer for my G4 (AGP Sawtooth) desktop. I don't really know anything about writers and which ones are "good" or not. Has anyone out there bought one recently that you'd suggest, or anyone that knows about them have suggestions?

Thanks!
Eddie

I agree with Bob. And OWC support has a very informative video
on how to install the drive in your Mac.

And the 110 can do DL discs. I just experimented with backing up
a commercial DVD onto a DL. After MacTheRipper did its thing, Toast7
wrote the 4.5X DVD in 11 minutes -- no hour of compression needed,
and picture quality was magnificent. I was almost impressed enough
to switch from 50-cent DVD-Rs. But we retirees on declining incomes
have to scrimp, and time is what we have lots of.
