New Universe announces DDW-082 dual format DVD recorder
New Universe (Nu-Tech) has sent us a press release in which they announce the availability of their latest DVD recorder, the NU DDW-082. The drive will have the same features as the NU DDW-081 drive and will support 8x recording to DVD+R media. Here's the complete press release:

Incorporating the same features as the NU DDW-081 drive, the DDW-082 is able to write both DVD+R/RW and DVD±R/RW discs, as well as CD-R/RW discs. In addition it can perform as a regular DVD-ROM drive.

The DDW-082 supports 8X speed DVD+R disc, 4x speed DVD-R, 4x speed DVD+RW, 2x speed DVD-RW, 12X speed DVD-ROM, 40X speed CD-R , 24X speed CD-RW and 40X speed CD-ROM. The drive further incorporates state-of-the-art technology such as Seamless Link and Dual suspension Mechanism to provide a stable and buffer under run free operation.

To meet creative demand, NU has included Nero Vision Express for video capture, editing, authoring, Cyberlink PowerDVD for DVD playback and Nero Express for recording music and data discs.

There is currently no information available on what the drive is going to cost and when it will be available. Feel free to discuss this new drive in our Recording Hardware Forum on Club CD Freaks.

LoneWolf15Gristy, NuTech makes their own drives, no clones. They're considered up-and-coming, with some of the fastest write times for +R media out there. Their -R support is average, but they're showing a good commitment in releasing firmware updates on a regular basis. The drives are also competetively priced, at around $100-120. Their earlier drive, the DDW-081 is supposedly upgradeable to the -082 with firmware. With a little hacking, the even earlier DDW-061 can also be upgraded to similar status.

I have the ddw-081/082!! Nu has released firmware upgrades which make the 081 into the 082. It burns +/- R/RW well. I would buy it again!!!!!!
