hey all, I have a question, I have been told that dvd writers only
have a certian number burns and then they begin to fail. Does this
carry any weight? If so, how many? thanks for listening.-J

All devices will wear out eventually.
In the case of DVD burners...it's more likely to eventually develop some
type of mechanical failure
before the laster actually goes.

DVD burners are pretty inexpensive and will probably last for many years so
I would not really worry about it.
