Optorite DD 1205

Was on sale for 53 bucks a few days ago. Ordered it Wednesday and had it today. Also bought 100 blank dvd's so I got a few to make coasters till I figure it all out :1orglaugh

DVD burner would be a better description. DVD recorders are the VCR replacements. :)

Welcome to 1997!

How easy is it to copy a DVD? Do you need expert know-how, or can a newbie use a software?

Also, how long does it take to burn a DVD?

dvdshrink (www.mrbass.org) and nero are your friend. See this link about "fair use" copies.

When you are making legal back-up copies of DVD's you own, don't burn to DVD+R as they don't play in hardly any DVD players.

The Matrix DVD-Rs are great and cheap.
