is PLEXTOR - L890SA Internal DVD good enough for Mastering?

Please let me know what you think about this PLEXTOR - L890SA?
I need a slow burning drive with the PlexUTILITIES for mastering. This one comes with it and it's not expensive.

i know that a slow mastering burning at x2 or x4 is good, this one i'm not sure if it goes below x8?
Can i use this Plextor? Can anybody recommend or help me with this?

Dvd-r

A recordable DVD disc. Not to be confused with DVD-RAM and DVD-RW, both of which are rewritable mediums. DVD-R is a write once, read many medium which currently holds about 4.7 gigabytes of information.

Dvd-ram

A type of DVD media that is designed for storage and backup. No other equipment other than the drive itself is required for a user to use DVD-RAM. In fact, DVD-RAM discs act very much like hard drives, other than being a much slower medium, in that a user can simple drag and drop files on to the desktop icon.

Recording sound samples from DVD to Pro Tools

Hello my names Aaron and I'm brand new to this forum. I've been trying to add movie samples to my Pro Tools sessions by recording from a DVD player to Pro Tools. The DVD player has a coxial output on it and I had the understanding that would work the same as S/PDIF. I've tried using the RCA cables from the DVD player to the S/PDIF in on my MBOX2 but nothing seems to be working.
