Thank you for your interest in our products. We recommend Roxio, and a full version of Nero if you need extensive editing but if its just play back the Nero disc we provided you will work.

This computer only has a DVD player/burner. If you want to burn cd's you'll half to buy an external cd burner.

I am not quite sure how to answer this question, so I will answer it as best as I can as related to this device.This device is able to install software to your computer via CD/DVD. There isn't any software to download to operate this device as it is plug and play on my Windows 7 machine. This device should also let you burn to disc as long as you have the software to do so.

The Manual officially says no to DVD+Rs, but I have some DVD+Rs that I have burned and I am able to play them without any Errors. Do not have DVD-Rs to test. I used Power2Go to burn the DVDsBut generally I found that my upscaled DVDs & DVD+Rs from BDP-1590 do not look very well on my LCD compared to my previous 3 yr old Philips DVD recorder.

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!

That's a software issue. As long as you have the software to utilize either the dvd files or an iso, you can burn it to dvd

See, here's the thing. The way it's worded makes it seem as though it burns bluray disc. It plays bluray disc and then allows you to burn dvd disc. I've tried a couple of softwares, including the one that came with it, but still does not burn blurays. Should work with any format going to a cd or dvd, though.

Thanks Victor for the info. i am trying to burn the 1080p content onto DVD-R to see if PS3 can play. It turns out it does see the files and plays them but the audio is choppy. i tried cooying the file directly onto the PS3 Harddrive, even then the audio is choppy...the video is playing well though. any thoughts on how to make the audio better ?

I would expect that you could install and burn a disc but I have not done as yet so don't know for sure. Sorry can not be more help.

I attempted to play my DVD on it and it FAILED. There is an adapter you can buy to convert your CD's into great sounding LP's, but this requires much effort and concentration. I suggest closing your eyes and listening very carefully to your player when the CD is playing and you will hear sound produced very similar to your desired music.

Sorry I don't know to what you are referring regarding the $80/year software. All you need is a media player program such as Windows Media Player, VLC or Media Player Classic, all of which you can download for free. Plug in the drive, insert the disc then open the media player and instruct it to play using the external drive, using whichever letter your computer designates for it. I just played a DVD using the drive and VLC with no problem so it should work for you. Hope this helps.

Mr. Moore, the advice seems to make no sense. Isn't a "Digital Audio" disc a CD? DVD for video and CD for music, speeches, etc. I have burned hundreds of Sony DVDs over the years and not one has let me down. Be sure and use the format, DVD- or DVD+, that your recorder burns. In my experience DVD- discs will work for the vast majority of recorders, but yours might require DVD+ discs. Paul

I don't know if you'll ever see this reply but it's worth getting the word out anyway. I recently purchased the new Small Wonder combo kit from TigerDirect.com. RCA has put out this DVD burner/Small Wonder camera combo package that is PERFECT for what you are asking about. The camera docks right onto the DVD burner, which connects to a t.v., and the videos will transfer directly into the DVD burner! It's so cool and easy. Plus, the DVD burner acts a stand-alone DVD player AND it will take inputs from other transmission sources (video camera, t.v. tuner, etc). This is a great product and a great value!Thrilled Small Wonder User I don't know if you'll ever see this reply but it's worth getting the word out anyway.

Well I don't know how you're burning it but the simplest way to burn it onto a DVD is to simply burn the .MTS file as a Data Disc. Then put the DVD in the PS3 and go to video and scroll down to data disc and play the file or hit the X button on your controller like twice. That's it, No fancy software needed. This also applies to other Blueray Players

NO! You will most defiantly need software. Operating system + Burning software or copy software of some kind. I also would recommend a different model. This one has a firmware problem that makes it very difficult to use PERIOD. Not for the general consumer usage. The one I got needed a firmware update just to get it to read properly and I never could get it to burn on media that is clearly listed as compatible on the compatibility matrix. Maybe I just got a bad one and everyone else will have better luck. Cheers!
