Hey there! New here and I have to say I'm a bit confused, and the more I'm reading, the worse its getting lol. Anyways, here's my situation and my questions! I have an Xbox HD DVD drive on order and its soon to arrive, I plan to harvest my LD from it, that's all good. Where I start to get confused is the drivers. I dont really have the know how, or the will atm to build myself a driver, and alot of people seem to be recommending the flexdrive. I had seen these a few times on websites, and I was curious if there was any model out there where I could buy it pre-configured for the right mW? The goal is for this laser to be able to burn, so I was looking at the 105mW range or so, will that be too high? Also, if anyone can suggest a good casing for the LD and driver, I'd appreciate it! As far as a "host" for it all I have yet to decide, but I figure a flashlight would be the easiest fix, mainly I'm just confused on the driver specs.
P.S: I am aware that the HD DVD drives for 360's have a low power laser and then two varieties of the higher powered lasers (or at least that's my concept of it from what I've read, if im wrong tell me lol), so you have a 50/50 chance of getting the higher powered of the two, will both be capable of burning? or do I really have to worry about which one is in the drive.
Thanks a ton!
