DVD burner/Vista compatability

I kust tried burning a DVD for the first time since installing Vista and it
failed! I went to NEC's website and installed the latest driver and flashed
the firmware for my drive, but it still failed, so I guess it's time to
replace the burner. My question is: do I need to worry about a Vista
compatability issue when looking for a new drive? Most of the ones I've
looked at don't say whether they are Vista compliant or not. I'm using
Vista Home Premium in a home-built computer and I want a Lightscribe DVD
burner.

Thanks,
Ray

Before you buy, look at some reviews.. you will be surprised by some of the
differences..

All are compatible with Vista, btw..
