The Toshiba SD-H903A HD-DVD writer has been dubbed as the worlds first dedicated PC-based HD-DVD writer that can write to all main optical discs (Blu-Ray not included). The SD-H903A can write to HD DVD-R discs (both single and doulble layered) at 1x speed, plus all exsisting DVD formats including DVD-RAM and CR-R/W formats. You should be able to write with all your needs and play back HD DVD movies with no problems, also an 8mb buffer is included.

” The new SD-H903A integrates a blue-violet laser diode that can read and write to HD DVD-R discs and that offers support for high-density HD DVD-ROM discs, including high definition movie and video images. The drive also offers all the functionality of a super multi-drive, with high performance, high-speed read and write to all flavors of standard DVD and CD discs.

The new drive takes full advantage of the shared physical structure of HD DVD discs and standard DVD discs, which allows it to read and write to HD DVD-R discs, to read the diverse line-up of discs in the HD DVD-ROM disc family, including twin format disc and combination discs, and to read and write to standard DVD and CD discs, using an optical pick-up head with only a single objective lens.”
