Some of the popular brands : Sony = LiteON , Pioneer, Plextor , Asus, Samsung, LG3. Buy from a place with good aftersales support/warranty (don’t buy from a place like PC house)Additional info: Most DVD writers/ROMs come with a region lock, you can change it 5 times. After the final change it will be permanently locked to the last region.   However, there are few ways to get around this problem. One way is to use a software tool like AnyDVD or DVD Region Free. Or you can do a firmware mod to your writer by flashing it with a region free firmware, however this is somewhat dangerous. Finally, there are some DVD ROMs that have secret ways of resetting the region lock, I once had an Asus drive in which if I press the eject and play button for few seconds the lock will be reset.  But you don’t have to worry too much about this because most pirated DVDs are region free. This is only a problem if you play original DVDs from many different regions. But still, because there are so many software tools out there you can easily  get around it.</blockquote>
