Dumb Question

With my PC I can burn cd's. If I get nero or a software like it with Dvd Shrink can I burn dvd's or do I need to get something else?

 

Do you have a DVD burner? In order to burn DVDs, you have to have a DVD burner.

 

I'm not sure where do I find it at?

 

OK, first click on Start on your taskbar, then click on Control Panel. Once you're in the Control Panel, click on System. Once you're in System, click on Harware. When you get there, click on Device Manager. You'll see a bunch of stuff including DVD/CD-ROM drives. When you see that, click on the + to expand it. This will let you know what type of CD and/or DVD drive(s) you have installed on your computer. When you find out what type of drive(s) you have, please post them and I'll let you know if you're able to burn DVDs.

 

IDE-DVD rom 16X and LITE-ONL TR-48247s

Thank you for your help.

 

ok what you have is a DVD-ROM drive (that will read dvd's, let you play them and rip them to your computer) and a Lite-On CD-R Burner (let you burn CD's)

To be able to write to DVD media you will need to buy yourself a DVD burner. check you your local Futureshop/BestBuy/CompUSA/Electronics store and pick one up at a decent price. BenQ's arent bad, I dont mind the Lite-On DVD burners. but if you have money go for something like a Plextor DVD burner

 

yeah get yourself a dvd writer and come back and see us ,i like Plextor also
