DVD to DVD Basics

I have new DVD-R and DVD+RW drives. Somebody told me easiest way to burn DVDs is to get Roxio platinum (but upgrade costs $100)

Is this the easiest way. Or is there an easy less extensive way to burn? Thanks

 

Roxio ?? That's for the Apple !!
Get Nero !!

 

Prassi Primo or Record Now Max are the best for DVD
Nero has compatibility issues with some players but it works well if your player doesn't have issues with it. You can download a trial version and give it go.

I wouldn't touch Roxio with a long pole even if it were free

 

Thanks. So where can I get a copy of Prassi Primo, Record Now Max or Nero?

And any suggestion on an easy step by step guide?

 

Nero trial: http://www.ahead.de

Record now: http://www.stompinc.com/recordnowmax/index.phtml?stp

I have a feeling that Record Now is the new version of Prassi but I could be wrong.

If you were after free stuff you are on your own.

 

Were you after a guide to burning or a guide to copying DVDs?

 

Thanks malum. I would like a guide to copying DVDs...I thought burning & copying are the same? no...if not then i am really confused. Help?

 

Here you can find (several) guides:

The 3 steps to COPY are:
1. DVD decrypter (ripping to HD)
2. DVD2one (from >4.36gb to 4.36gb)
3. Nero (burning)
