DVD burner recommendations ?

[Kevin Smith]

I have 5.3 running on a P4 box with Xorg and Gnome.  I currently have an 
older CDROM that can play DVD's.  I'm looking to upgrade this to a new 
DVD/CD burner/player.

 I'm looking for an inexpensive and widely available unit that 
willinstall/setup painlessly on freebsd 5.3.  Any recommendations ? I 
have a source for lite-on drives - Has anyone tried these drives ?

  I'd also like to use k3b as this is what I've been using on Linux.  I 
recall having problems with an earlier version of freebsd/kde that 
required me to use the SCSI emulation layer to use an IDE driver. Is 
this still the case ?

Thanks in advance,

-K
