You can use built-in Windows 8 functionality, like to copy files on your CD and click burn. Or any other software like Nero Burning ROM or simpler.

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.

Mine works just like the one in my computer, just plug in USB and computer assigns it a drive and just play - record, burn, etc. My DVD RW had gone out on my computer, but now it's fixed so have two burners now. When portable player is plugged in and you want to burn something, like at itunes, you are prompted to select which burner. I was just stunned at how well it works, just like the one built into computer. But be careful with the software that comes with it, for it is just promotional - NOT needed to operate the unit. It will instruct you to put in disc to install. P.S. The portable floppy 3.5 works great as well if you have old stuff still stored on floppies.

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.

Yes you can. I have already ripped and burned several CDs. I have not tried to burn a DVD yet, but there is software already on the computer to burn dvds (it is called Power2go). The software did not say it was trial or asked for activation/purchase; I assume it is the full version installed and not just a trial version. The burning was quick and easy. I highly recommend this laptop if you want a decent Windows 8 PC.

Mine only came with a dvd/cd player. I bought a cheap dvd burner and installed it with no problem.

You will have to purchase an external DVD/CD-ROM drive. AMAZON has several for sale.

I've only copied DVD to DVD or CD to CD with it. I've never tried DVD to CD or CD to DVD, so I am unsure...but my guess is that it will not.

My package came with the CD & instruction sheet. If I remember, connect the device in the USB port, place the CD in the drive & run the setup program.

This laptop does have a cd/dvd burner. So if you have the right software you can burn from whatever media you have your music on.

It depends on how you burn it. You can set your computer drive to burn a disc as a "Data" disc ( only a computer can read it ) or as a DVD which will allow it to play on a DVD player.

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

The DVD could be burned as a data disc. It would not be playable on a DVD console player unless it can read and play back native JPG or AVI files.

You can * burn it to a disc * copy it to a jump/usb drive * if your computers are networked you can access it from your laptop * failing the above, you can download it to your laptop

Hi Michael, It has a CD/DVD drive but you probably should check with vendor to find out whether it burns. Otherwise I'm finding it's a very good machine, fast enough and quite robust.

I have not tried to burn a DVD or CD on the OptiPlex GX620, but I purchased a OptiPlex 755 from JSM Computers that does. Been out of town, sorry for not answering your question sooner
