I'm new to all this. but I followd Afterdawns guides to burn DIVX to dvd and DVD to DVD with the freeware software they recomend. It all worked as described. Like I said, Its my first time and they all worked to perfection. My DVD's look great on my player. I did have to get a home DVD player that accepts DVD+WR and DVD_R. Found one for 45.00 at BEST BUY. Thanks Afterdawn.....XP User, yes it all worked in XP!
