Ok I got an E-Machines...I know I know..not the best, but I dont need the best. It has a DVD+/-RW...Can someone tell me exactly what this means how and what I would use it for. Am I able to burn DVD's??? I was looking at the CD's at walmart. They have DVD+r, DVD+rw, DVD -r and DVD-rw...I didnt know what the hell to get.

any help would be greatly appreciated...

thanks

 
thanks for the reply...so I should buy +R dvd's. also am I able to burn dvd's? I have some program that came with the computer...but I just put a regular dvd and it said it couldnt copy it due to copyright....??

 
Two programs (both free) to let you burn/copy any dvd....

DvdShrink

Dvd Decrypter

As for what media to get (+r, -r, etc) find out what your dvd player will play. Our 5 disc changer wont play +r.....

Get good brands, as well, otherwise you will have write errors on the disc, which will lead to poor playback. Check out Ritek and Taiyo Yuden for discs.

 
ok thanks for the input, I will try those programs..but as far as the DVD's, based on above..i would want to skip the rw dvds and either get the +r or -r based on what my dvd player plays?

thanks again.
