Thanks Liam,
are there any downsides to having an "all in one unit" as opposed to having two separate components (aside from the obvious of copying a store bought CD to a blank CD)?
Also, it seems that the fastest DVD speed is 8x, is this an acceptable speed in todays standards?

Can you get a CD-RW that also serves as a DVD player?
I want to get a DVD player for a new computer and I want to be able to rip CD's but I don't know if there are any units that actually serve as both. I was under the impression that a CD-RW can only doulbe as a CD player.
