Place the DVD burner in your good PC. The Pentium II might not be fast
enough to burn at 8X but this depends on the PC itself. If you do
place the DVD burner in the Pentium II set the burn speeds at 4X.
On your list of DVD burners I'd get the LG 4163 which is one of the
best drives around.
These drives require at least a Pentium III of about 700 to 800 MHz.
This is more to do with video capture than anything else. These drives
often come with software that can capture, then author and then burn.
I think you'll be happier having the burner in your faster system.
Plus your old system may not have a very big hard drive. You need
10Gb of free hard drive space before any DVD burn as there are
loads of temp files created before any DVD burn.
Try and get Nero Suite 3 with the DVD burner which is only an extra
$10 or there abouts. It has the DVD burning plus NeroVision which is a
very good program for authoring with. Will convert AVI to DVD with its
faster codec but speed of conversion depends on the speed of computer.
I would not even try it on the older Pentium II system.
