the best software of all was ' dvd x copy '(platinum) now banned from the courts due to copyrights infringement,it comes with dvd repair/recover to those dvd that got physically scratched bad or whatever. its a goldmine if you can find a copy.(imho)
my dvd burner connected to my tv copies fine, never had a problem with burning a copy, its a toshiba bought at c*stco, uses dvd-r,dvd-ram, etc... copied evolution without a hitch. didn't need any software just my toshiba dvd burner/player. fyi...
