I've got a Compaq desktop running Windows XP, with a DVD+/-RW. I was trying to copy some pics and vids onto the DVD. I tried to drag'n'drop the files over, as per writing a CD, but they wouldn't even copy to make the temporary files, let alone be able the write the DVD!

How could I copy these files over? Any pointers would be good!

Thanks,

Darren

XP doesn't have any native DVD writing software.


Nero is popular:

My system came with Record Now which has worked well:

....or if these are too rich for your blood, you could do a Google search for
"Freeware, DVD burners" and see if you can find a freebie that will work for you.

I still prefer Nero 7 over the built in Vista stuff.

You get a 15 day trial with Nero if you want to try it.
