There aren't that many DVD burner brands out there yet.  Its still a 
market in its infancy.  However, you'll find that the same companies 
that make good quality CD burners, do the same for DVD burners. 
Although keep in mind that burning DVDs is still not a standard.  There 
are at least two competitors out there, and its not yet clear who will win.
