Blank Media: Contacting the drive manufacturer is the most reliable way. Check out Dell's website as well. r. "RJP" wrote in message ... Hello.

You could do a Google search, www.google.com, for DVD and/or CD burning
software. The drive manufacturer should have provided you with a list of compatible or recommended blank media. Check any literature you got with the system or go online to their web site.

DVD Drive Questions
There are many products available to author DVD's. Since it is illegal ATT
to copy DVD's you will not find a commercially available retail product that will copy DVD's. You will have to rely on products that are only available for download, and many of them are malware included bundles. You are going to have to do some research, as I know of no single "program" that will successfully copy all DVD's. It really is too much trouble to even try. If you search eBay, you can find DVD's for a fraction of their retail cost. Commercially produced DVD's will be of higher quality and higher data density than you can produce on your computer.

THanks | | RJP Your drive or computer should have come with some sort of DVD authoring and CD burning programs. What do you mean by "copy DVDs"? Do you mean commercial, encrypted disks? There is free software available that will do that. The most popular is called DVD Shrink and you can find it with a Google search. Be aware that defeating copy protection encryption on DVDs is considered illegal, even if it's just for your own archiving purposes. As for blank DVDs, don't buy cheap. From the description you've given, it appears that your burner will only do the + variety, so buy DVD+R as opposed to DVD-R. |
