Compatible DVD burners

I am looking to get a DVD burner in the near future. Is there a current list of compatible (approved) DVD burners that are compatible since the release of DVDA 2.0? Or will any DVD burner work with 2.0? I could not find such an up to date list that is specific to DVDA 2.0 on the SONY media software site.

Not sure about a list, but I recently got a Benq DW-822A from newegg.com ($99) and the DVDA2 demo burned the sample project without a hiccup. The drive is 8x +R and 4x -r. I was concerned about compatibility since the first version of DVDA seemed picky from what I've read in the forums.

Benq will release a firmware update in September to enable dual layer burning - not sure if that will be possible from within DVDA, but my understanding is that Nero 6 Ultra already recognizes DL burners.

Not a list, but the drive gets a thumbs up from me.
