DVD Burner
Hi. I am looking for a DVD burner. I have never purchases
one before and have no idea what to look for in one. Is there a way to copy DVDs now a days? If so, what program do I use and what type of burner do I need to get? I know nothing about doing this but I really wish I have the capability too. What type of burner do I need? What type of media do I need? Please advise, direct me on how to do this and what burner I need to buy. Please send me an email at ASAP. |

DVD Expect to see dual/ double-layer DVD burners in just about every desktop PC sold in 2005, even in budget systems. These drives let you copy full DVD movies with no loss of quality, back up a whopping 9GB of data on a single disc, and even plug a DV camcorder directly into a drive to burn DVDs. 12.22.04 http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1744326,00.asp DVD Burners: Spinning as Fast as They Can 10.27.04 http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1684194,00.asp P.S.

back up a whopping 9GB of data on a single disc
The one problem for now, but on past trends will be only temporary, is the significant difference in cost between singles layer and double layer media. For example you can currently buy, here in the UK, good quality 8x single layer media for less than 20p (about 36¢) whereas the cheapest dual layer is around GBP3.5 (about US$6.5). -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Jack E Martinelli wrote: DVD Expect to see dual/ double-layer DVD burners in just about every desktop PC sold in 2005, even in budget systems.

Mike, do you have some good links for explaining DVD copying and burning for
Mr. McKinney, as he requested? DVD Authoring and the Indomitable Spirit 10.19.04 http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1661830,00.asp By Bill Machrone Maybe it's just me, but every time I touch a DVD-burning program, something goes horribly wrong. Or nothing happens. Or a combination of the two occurs. ---- DVD Burning: Between Extremes 01.30.04 http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1473632,00.asp By Bill Machrone You can have DVD burning two ways: simple and limited or arcane and flexible. Or at least, that's the conclusion I'm forced to draw after sampling a bunch of retail and shareware DVD-authoring and -editing tools. -- Jack E.
