With Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013, and Nero Burning ROM 2013 and together blanks from Verbatim, Sony and AmazonBasics it burns perfectly.
And with the VLC Media Player, it works together almost perfectly, really very quiet and smooth.
There are no loud chatter, ever NOT repeating "I'm looking for the beginning and find him again not" Gesirre, Gefiepse and Geschnalze as internal from my Samsung burner.
There are no non-end-willing, annoying loud buzzing as. From my LG burner
Sooo quiet is just my age, and keep time very expensive Harman Kardon standalone DVD player, but my new, cheaper Samsung Blue Ray Disc Standalone Player is noticeably louder and slower. The "Schei..ding" I only remember because it "cooperates" with the Samsung TV, but otherwise: a Rappelkiste the worst.
At least something negative to say about the Transcend TS8XDVDS-K:
There are solid acting Schubladenkonstuktionen and housing.
And there are certainly even more rapid burner.
But not for 30 euros or 34 with shipping.
My Conclusion: 5 stars
