Can anyone tell me which one is better, Chinon 535 Internal or : Toshiba 3401B Internal? Are there any drawback in using MV Premium 3D as : the I/F? Is it true that in reading a demanding AVI, Chinon is better than : Toshiba? : Any info is appreciated. : Thanks a lot in advance. I suspect either will do fine. I have the Chinon and am very happy with it. A friend of mine has a Toshiba and it also seems to work fine. The Chinon is supposed to have better AVI performance. The Chinon is made nicely and runs _very_ cool. The CD's don't even come out warm after several hours use. __ Keith Hollister keithh@gate.net
