LITE-ON Introduces A New Feature: EZ-DUB Allows copying of discs and data by pressing only one button	By Sci/Tech News Staff, - 17th of September 2005, 15:13 GMT Adjust text size:


LITE-ON introduces a patented new feature (EZ-DUB) which is integrated into their latest line of external DVD burners, making copying easier and hassle-free The EZ-DUB function works with the addition of two buttons to the DVD writer - 'DUB' and 'FILE'. Specially developed hardware connects these buttons to the writer to allow users to copy discs in three simple steps: Insert the original CD Press the 'DUB' button Replace the disc with a blank disc in the drive to record onto when prompted In addition, users have a simple method to backup their data, simply by dragging files to the EZ-DUB folder on the desktop, inserting a blank disc and pressing the 'FILE' button. Lite-On have developed their own user-friendly software to assist the above process and to keep the EZ-DUB easy to use, and like their previous DVD writers, they have maintained the compatibility with other burning software. The first burner to incorporate this unique new technology is the SOHW-1673SU. This is an external - USB 2.0 - 16x dual drive with double-layer writing capability. It has an onboard 2MB buffer and utilises Lite-On IT's patented cutting-edge technologies. The SOHW-1673SU includes write speeds of 4x on DVD R (double-layer) media as well as 16x on single-layer DVD-RW and DVD RW media. Re-writing speed is 8x for DVD RW and 6x for DVD-RW. What's more it also has the best CD writing performance of any DVD drive on the market writing to CD-RW media at a speedy 48X. The SOHW-1673SU external drive supports the Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP operating environments, although the EZ-DUB function is only supported in 2000/XP operating systems. The drive weighs 1.3Kg and measures 172(w)x66(h)x243(d)mm. This week, Softpedia takes you for an e-mail client tour. Vote for your favorite e-mail application.
