Can I download songs and video's onto a CD or a DVD? Total amateur. My old computer had 2 doors that held CD's and DVD'S that I could record on.

Yes you can do both with the one door. It also come with a program to make it very easy, not to mention Window Media Player. This computer is a great buy.

Go to epizenter.net like I said before, it's easy, but I'm not gonna post links to DVD ripping software here, since ripping commercial DVDs isn't legal.

I don't really know. I have only recorded onto a CD and I don't believe you can record any other way. However, there is a way to connect to your computer, so there may be some options I am not aware of.

To be honest with you Jim, I have not done any recording with this laptop yet, not on DVDs. Based on past experience with other computers, I would suggest using a good quality DCD R+ disk. If you are ordering in bulk like we did, check the reviews for the brand carefully. We had one batch of el cheapo blanks that once they were recorded could not be played. I wound up throwing a lot of music away. I've copied few CDs without incident. Good luck with your Gateway. After using this since April, I will never go back to a desktop PC.

"a Sony video camera" is a bit vague to work with, but I would venture a guess that if it is a video camera, you would be better off to use DVD's. I use the CD-R's in an old SONY Mavica I bought back before there were thumb drives or cameras that recorded directly onto a card. The cameras that recorded onto cards at that time weren't too stable and I lost images, so I opted for the MAVICA, which is now pretty much of a 'boat anchor' as far as platforms go.

I forgot to mention that you can't rip dvd's with Nero (from my understanding at least), although you can use other DVD "backup" programs like DVDFab, AnyDVD, or some other alternate program.

You can download everything onto the computer. You don't need to have the DVD in the drive after you've downloaded it.

What type of programs?If you have content on a flash drive or external drive then definitely yes. If it is a program downloaded from the internet or bought from the microsoft app store then definitely yes. However, if you are wondering about CDs or DVDs, then you will need to find an external disc drive in order to load them onto the computer. Hope this helps!

Yes... you can record movies and or music to athe on board CD unit. Of course this requires the proper software such as NERO PRO to do so. The computer does NOT come the necessary software to simply recording. The Windows based software will allow recording of music however.

Can not be saved directly to CD......save to a computer then transfer to CD.

The Sony cdr's are not dvd's. I don't know if you can put a video onto a cdr. I've never been able to figure out how to download just the audio portion of a video that is on YouTube.

Never tried them with a computer, only a CD to CD recorder. But I have been told those I have recorded do not always play back on a DVD player, only on a CD player. Also my recorder will not record a copy I have made. It only records from an original CD. It records well regular or high speed on my machine.

No. This computer has only one CD/DVD drive. In order to burn from CD to CD, it would be necessary to rip from the original CD, store on the computer, then burn the copy. As an alternative, you could delete the information after you are done copying to the CD.
