ok i have some movies on my computer which i want to put to dvd (athf seasons1-4) and i just realised since the most recent disaster with my computer involving my sister and viruses i no longer have a method of burning files to dvd unless i can find my copy of recordnow! im prety screwed. does anyone know of any decent freeware that would be suitable

Try Nero. It's a sweet burning program, and really versatile too. You can download it from a few places, just run a google search. It's a great program for DVDs, CDs, ROMs, etc. My program of choice.

I've also heard that Alcohol 120% (that's the name of the program

) will get the job done just fine, but I haven't personally used it, and can't recommend it from experience. Good luck!

I use Nero Express or K3B only. Both every easy to use, have several extentions/plugins and easy to get. Nero 6 is what $30 or less now, and if you use a Linux distro K3B is FREE!

I have the latest version of Nero 6. I downloaded the 30-day trial with all the features from their website, and 2 months later, I've still got it! But hey, I'm not complaining!

Alcohol 120% is really good for mounting ISOs if you don't want to burn a CD. Sounds good for burning as well.

Is it? I've used Nero for all my ISO applications, and it also does the job fine. I may download Alcohol 120% just to compare the two, I think it would be an interesting study!

Nero takes over your computer, it'd be nice if they just gave you Nero Burning ROM, and that's it. So I'd recommend Alcohol 120% before Nero.

Well, I highly recomend Alcohol 120%. It burns every kind of file, including nero files.

just realised these cost money. is there anything free i can use that works? and i have an old copy of nero if i used the product key for that would it work wiith the new version of nero?

Alcohol 120%. Whenever I try Nero it fails burning, but Alcohol has no problems.

Hope that helps.
