1 out of 5 stars faulty drive, comes with HP computers.......2007-05-11

I have this drive with my HP media center a1230n, it does not work properly, plays DVD with stutters, installs games on DVD EXTREMELY slow.
Called HP support, requested a replacement, I was put through a ton of system recovery, the drive worked for a while, now back to the same old thing, a lot of time wasted restalling all the software.
I have 2 Compaq computer with faulty DVD writers also, those were replaced and worked fine afterwards.

3 out of 5 stars Slow but adequate features.......2007-04-17

The drive is a little slow and the Lightscribe feature prints are a little faded looking. I'd wait for the next generation of drives to arrive.

1 out of 5 stars totally useless.......2006-12-24

This is my 4th drive. Started with BenQ and gave up after being sent wrong drive and customer support fed me a bunch of BS. Went with HP thinking a more reputable brand will have better product, better customer service. Am giving up on LightScribe. Every forum I have read reveals the same or nearly the same problems over and over and over. Can't believe the product is still being allowed to be marketed. Perhaps the little line about LightScribe being a new technology is their disclaimer, but it's been on market for some time now. Just awful. I am not happy with having to give it one star either. It should receive non.

1 out of 5 stars HP dvd740i Internal 16X DVD Writer with LightScribe Technology.......2006-12-11

I have had nothing but trouble with this drive and its recent replacement. What a piece of junk and lousy customer service. The first one would not read DVD's. The replacement will not write CD's.

The customer service has been a night mare. I was ignored and dropped on email support. The RMA was screwed up. The replacement drive was sent to the wrong person and wrong address.

Where is the zero or negative rating option for this product?

I won't make the same mistake with HP again!

1 out of 5 stars This is the biggest piece of crap. save your money.......2006-08-20

i had about a month and a half of trouble free operation, and after that it all went south.
at first i could not understand why this burner would not "see" any type of disc i put into it. i tried the update at at litescribe, i searched the hp site and nothing. i tried every type of cd medium and nothing. i have thrown countless cd's against the wall searching for an answer. i believed it was some type of software problem. i never would have thought that the good people at HP would knowingly put out a defective product. then i read the other reviews and they described my exact problems. 1 out of a hundred may have luck with this device, and to this person i say enjoy, i hope it lasts forever. but, the other 99 of us know the bitter taste of frustration when we go to save something and this burner spits out the "unknown" disc.
i will NEVER buy another HP dvd burner....

1 out of 5 stars hope you don't need hp support.......2007-01-09

HP support should be called non-support. I have bought a lot of HP products in the past but have always been lucky enough to have them all hold up through the warranty period until now. Bought a Pavilion Media Center PC with lightscribe and less than 5 months later the lightscribe dvd died. Do they get me a replacement or just the run around? You got it....the run around. I will never and I advise everyone else not to buy from HP until they can prove to stand by their warranties.

5 out of 5 stars Really Cool .......2006-11-03

It's so nice to make your own Factory Like CD & DVDs Cover !

While the final shape is not so sharp

But it is really very nice to have this stuff

1 out of 5 stars Don't stop here........2006-10-20

I bought the external version of this drive, and it was great... for a month. Support, or lack of it, is done by Lite-on. Look else where.

1 out of 5 stars Worst Drive I have ever used.......2006-09-06

This is the worst hard drive I have ever used. I purchesed one, just to return it right away for not being able to read cd's (took me 12 tries to just to get it to download my motherboard drivers off the cd!), I then payed for another one and within 8 DVD burns and 18 lightscribe burns it stopped working completely! This drive would only burn using Nero Burning software and nothing else.
I would NOT recommend this drive to anybody!

1 out of 5 stars Avoid this junk.......2006-06-21

Mine made 2 DVDs and 0 out of 10 attempts to burn a
Audio CD. It runs horrendously warm and if you tryed
to use light scribe right after burning the DVD it
gave a "internal error" error.

Then it started giving "Track Following Errors" and wouldn't
read or write a CD/DVD, home made or commercial.

So I took it back to Best Buy. They no longer carried the 740i
so I said what the hey, I'll get the 840i

Well so far it will read and burn a disk, but if you
don't wait at least 5 minutes after burning a disk
and try to burn a light scribe image it over heats
and gives the same "Internal error" message...

HP needs to resolve this issue.....

1 out of 5 stars Look elsewhere for caller ID/speakerphone/answerer solution.......2006-07-18

I bought mine used for a couple of dollars at a rummage sale last fall, and it didn't take long for me to learn the reason behind what seemed like an unbelievable discount: This phone is the only one I've ever had that freezes up (like a computer). When I say "freezes up," I mean that, for example, when reviewing recorded messages, the answering machine will freeze up and I have to unplug and re-plug the AC adapter to un-freeze it. Or when the phone rings, the caller ID will freeze up, and the result is that the phone keeps ringing and ringing and the answering machine doesn't answer. I was willing to make do with unplugging and replugging the power for so long, but enough is enough. At least I'm not the poor soul who shelled out $50 or so on this crash-prone phone when it was new.

1 out of 5 stars kinda petered out after awhile.......2004-09-02

We really liked it at first, although the sound quality was never really good on the outgoing message or on the recorded messages. But we've only had it for a year now, and have to look at replacing at least the answering machine part. The recorded messages just started sounding quieter and quieter and now they are sometimes not audible at all. Ah, well, just after we bought it those audible caller id phones came out and I was kicking myself that we didn't have one of those, so here's my chance! :-)

1 out of 5 stars Not user friendly.......2003-08-19

This device is cumbersome and not easy to use. And if the power is out, basic phone functions do not work even though it's a corded phone.

You cannot set the volume control while listening to a message, it looses it's settings if there is a power glitch, even a small one. Very slow to respond to key functions.

I'll be purchasing another device or going to Verizon for vmail service. (God help me!)

Mordaunt-Short has been designing and manufacturing loudspeakers for more than thirty years. Naturally, we have seen a great many changes in that time. Our company has maintained its leading position by consistently responding to - and frequently introducing - new technologies and materials. However, one factor has remained more important to our success and has guaranteed the continued satisfaction of our customers: a passion for music. We certainly relish pushing technology but we refuse to release a new model simply because it's innovative or technically superb. No loudspeaker leaves our factory until it has passed the one test that really matters: its musical performance has to put smiles on the faces of everyone in our listening room.

    3 out of 5 stars Almost there........2001-09-13

    Wish I'd read the other reviews.

    This is a nice device as long as you only have 32mb or smaller SmartMedia cards. It won't read anything larger. I had hoped to use it with 64mb cards (perfect size to hold a CD worth of MPEGs on), but no luck. Don't believe the technical data provided by Amazon on this one. Pretec says in big red letters that 32mb is the largest card it's been able to translate so far. They'll get there someday, hopefully soon.

    1 out of 5 stars CompactSSFDC limitations.......2001-09-07

    This appeared to be an ideal convertor tool from smart media to CF. However, having purchased one, I find from consultation with Pretec that it is limited to a max of 32Mb smart media card - hardly sufficient for many peoples needs today. In addition this is not mentioned on the Amazon description - in fact the implication is that it can support 64Mb cards.

    A product I wish I had not bought!

    4 out of 5 stars Works just fine.......2001-08-25

    With some of the negative reviews, I thought I'd add one for the positive. It works just fine. I'm using a 32M Smartmedia card from my digital camera. I can easily view images taken with my digital camera as well as using the Smartmedia for extra storage. The form factor isn't a big deal to me. So what if it sticks out an inch or so. If you want smaller, then go buy compactflash and sacrifice the ability to swap media. The only real negative was the lack of documentation.

    1 out of 5 stars Information I've picked up elsewhere.......2001-06-24

    I didn't buy one of these, but I've seen similar adapters elsewhere on the internet. Descriptions say that they only work with 8mb, 16mb and 32mb SmartMedia cards.

    Compact Flash cards have their own built-in controller, while SmartMedia cards don't, so the best I can figure is that this is basically a card controller (with a serious design deficiency).

    3 out of 5 stars worked as expected.......2001-06-05

    This product worked as expected. It fit easily into the compact flash slot of my IPAQ 3650. It does stick out almost 1 inch. It isn't anything you would want to leave in place. However it is easy to slip it in and copy my pictures from an Olympus 8 mb flash media card. I remove it when I am done. It saved me from having to get another digital camera because of card incompatibility.

    I bought this combo unit in October and now in April it does not work at all! The TV won't even come on. I'm awfully disappointed since others in my family have owned Quasar TV's and/or VCRs and not had a problem. I will probably not ever buy another Quasar combo unit again. We thought it was perfect for the compactness but now it sits...dead, not even a blink. I ejected a video tape one day and that was the end of that. Nothing about it works now.

    Product Description

    Transform 35mm film, negatives or slides into digital images with the affordable, easy-to-use ES-10 Scanner. With the freedom of digital imagery and your computer, you can create electronic slide shows or photo albums, customized greeting cards, calendars and screen savers. Perform super-fast scans in as little as 30 seconds. Or use digitized film for desktop publishing or posting on the Internet. Because it scans film directly, the ES-10 produces high-resolution 3.8 megapixel images without the loss of detail that results from scanning photographs. Using an exclusive Olympus scanning technology, the 24-bit ES-10 keeps the rich colors and subtle gradations normally found in original film.

    Amazon.com Product Description

    The Olympus ES-10 parallel film scanner allows you to transform 35mm film negatives or slides into remarkably sharp digital images with amazingly true-to-life colors. For business, creative projects, or family fun, you can use the imaging software that comes standard with the ES-10 to lay out catalogs, send e-mail, create a business presentation, or design a Web site. Organize your photos and prepare them for publishing, and then use digitized film for desktop publishing or posting on the Internet.

    While scanning all common 35mm films--color or black-and-white, negatives or positives, mounted or strip negatives--the images appear directly on your computer screen. Because it scans film directly, the Olympus ES-10 produces high-resolution (2,400 x 1,600 dpi, 24-bit color), 3.8-megapixel images without the loss of detail that often results from conventional scanning of prints or photographs. Olympus scanning technology keeps the colors lush and retains the subtle gradations normally found in original film. You can easily scan, crop, retouch, and manipulate photographs, and then print, publish, or store your images.

    The ES-10 connects to your computer through a shared port with your printer. Scanning times range from a 10-second preview to about three minutes for the highest resolution (2,400 x 1,600 pixels). The Olympus ES-10 parallel scanner is compatible with Windows 95 and 98 operating systems. Also included with the scanner are an AC adapter, dust cover, Centronics 26-pin connector, and Olympus ES-10 Twain driver and browser plug-in. The software package includes Olympus Pictra Album, Adobe PhotoDeluxe, and InMedia Slides and Sound.

    Olympus has decided to discontinue the manufacture of the ES-10 scanner. So, it did not develop a driver for Windows XP. Thousands of ES-10 owners will have to throw their scanner in the garbage.
    Without a driver for Windows XP, the scanner is useless. Olympus supports its customers? Yeah, sure.

    4 out of 5 stars Great Film Scanner.......2000-01-30

    This is probably the cheapest usable film scanner in the market today (cheaper ones do NOT work, get a flatbed...). The scans are great and it's very easy to use. The software is also very robust (unlike Microtek's buggy ones) and has not crashed on me so far. Being a webdesigner for fashion models I use this machine very often and have found it very reliable.

    The complaints for this machine would be a lack of software for Windows NT! The software is only 95/98 compatible. How silly. And the film type templates are definitely not comprehensive enough. You can choose only brands, but there are difference in color balance and contrast, say, in just Fuji! It can take a while to play with that color balance. But otherwise, this is a superb product, love it!

    5 out of 5 stars I used this twice before and loved it........2003-07-03

    A relative of mine bought this about 4-5 years back from Hong Kong.
    It is very compact(smaller than the palm of your hand) and has a wired remote control. The voice recording/playback clarity is amazing. You can slip it into your shirt pocket and nobody will even suspect a thing. The best feature of this baby? When you set it to record- it records only when you speak. If you stop speaking, the tape stops recording and resumes automatically when you speak again.

    Though I am looking at a digital voice recorder(Sony ICD-BP150) now, I would still give a preference to this Olympus.
