Crap! Then what is the point or getting a computer with a dvd burner if you can't burn dvds?
You can use the DVD burner to make backup copies of your data files. You can get a movie capture program and transfer your old videos and home movies to DVD. You can make sports highlight DVD's for college recruiters.
Not everything with a DVD burner revolves around making illegal copies of rented movies.
We use a program called Sonic MyDvd- it' lets you do a lot of different things around creating your own DVD's. I did a cool one of my son wrestling, with highlights of a bunch of his matches, set to music that he picked out.
