Do you have to use Windows DVD Maker? If so can anyone tell me of another DVD Burner that doesn't have to be used with Windows DVD Maker. Thank you

In stead of windows dvd maker i use ConvertXToDVD 5..... as far as software goes that is. I don't know if it was free or not, i may have went to "https://thepiratebay.se/browse"; and downloaded it with utorrent (http://www.utorrent.com/).

Thanks Vito, I have one more question mayby you can answer...The specs on this one say..."Store your music, videos, photos and documents with plenty of space to spare SuperMulti 8X DVD+ with Double Layer Support Play and create CDs and DVDs with this DVD/CD burner drive"...I would like to know if this computer is capable of RE- writing DVDs, or can it only burn them once??? or is this function merely dependant on the type of disk used for any computer??? I am so tecno-challenged!!! Can you tell???Thanksjz

I also agree with R. Davis It's a "plug & play" But you'll need software to do any burning. Playback no problem with windows media.

You can burn a disc using your computer. I have the HDR-CX500V, but my computer is slow and I knew it would take forever to burn a disc. I bought the Sony DVDirect burner and I love it. If you computer has enough power and speed you should be okay.

Hi, it does burn DVD RW discs. Either + or - RW discs. Please keep in mind that the format we listed are for copying discs. The original disc still need to be formatted to be play on other DVD rom or players in order for the blank discs to be copied. Also, as mentioned by previous user, only non-copy protected discs can be inserted in the master drive to be use for duplication.

I didn't get any. Windows 7 and 8 have built in burning capability. If I need to make an image or copy a disc, I use an old copy of Nero that came with one of my other burners.

Yes it does. Mine used to work fine, but the DVD burner is not working anymore. It's probably because I bought it used. I'll have to get it checked.

Better off using an external DVD drive. Just plug it into USB port and be done. Also I put an USB 4way splitter on mine and it allows for my mouse, printer, external antenna for wireless signal, and DVD player/burner to work all together on 1 port. I got DVD at Best Buy great price and they have several to choose from mine is 24X.

This specific model does not come with a cd/DVD burner. However, you can utilize one of the USB ports and attach an external cd/DVD burner. Also, please realize this specific model does not come with a disc reader, so there is no way of playing your cd's, or uploading any data via disc. Just thought I would point that out before you purchase!

You can make regular dvd's with this camcorder. Since my computer is slow. I purchased a Sony DVD Direct Burner and it works great. With the burner I do lose the ability to edit the videos and it burns in real time....if your video is an hour it takes an hour to burn. The quality is fantastic and it also can burn slide shows from various memory cards.

I have burned with Windows DVD maker all types of home videos on Visa and Windows 7. I have combined my own music, Jpegs, and AVI video clips from my Canon Powershot camera. Yah, old school,but when my recent little used DVD died I was told it would be difficult to find one that would read my home videos. Well the Big box store said this one wouldn't do it, but it does and I'm going to buy another tomorrow. I tried it on an 1988 Panasonic and a Sony HD 40 Brava with excellent results. It even played VCR movies I copied in a VCR/DVD combo and played them too. I am really pleased with this purchase and bringing the Sansung back tomorrow.

I have had my VAIO for just over a month, but I do know that this particular machine is especially made to produce Blu-ray DVD's and other top quality productions. So, yes this Sony has a DVD burner. I am very much impressed with my VAIO and highly recommend it.

I use Windows Movie Maker which comes with most Computers. You will need a USB cable. Is simple and easy for me and I can edit the video on movie maker, add titles and music. I burn the dvd's using Sonic's my dvd which also came with my computer.

Make sure you do not include dash separators. Also you may have caps included in the number. I purchased this program from another vendor and thought it was terrible. I could not burn any type of dvd with this. I wanted to make slideshows as advertized on the box but you have to download bonus software to do this. It still did not work. I bought Wondershare DVD Creator after trying the unpaid version. It works very well and is very user friendly. Good luck!! I made the slideshows with Movie Maker then burned dvds with Wondershare.

Hi Basketball Mom, I have 3 or 4 of these cameras and love them. I have no problem burning a DVD on my computer. Also have the RCA burner which is slow but works great. Always an option if you can't do it on your computer.
