this is what the computer comes with, can i buy a DVD and make a copy with this drive?

8X CD/DVD Burner (DVD+/-RW) with double-layer DVD+R write capability

and if its a yes, anyone use buring programs that they reccomend?

 

yeah you definately can

google DVD shrink.

 

Yes you will be able to burn/copy DVDs. Nero will do the job for sure but it's expensive.

 

Get a copy of nero on ebay....Works good. Dvd shrink is good for making dvd backups but nero also does it.

 

Yeah. If it's DVD RW It burns dvd. Nero is pretty cool you can buy it or p2p it

 

WHat kind of DVDs do you want to burn? If your looking to make backups of DVD movies then use DVD XCOPY. If your looking to make backups of DVD games (PS2, XBOX) then use Games XCOPY. Nero is pretty good for burning just about anything.

 

Anydvd and Clonedvd2 are awesome programs. Slysoft makes both of these programs and offer trial periods for you to try them out, I got to buy the cd keys soon. These work so good in fact my mother bought a dvd from korea and the regions woundnt let her play it on any of our dvd players so i reburned them and deleted the regions and they work on all the dvd players now. Here is the link.

Yeah but Nero does not let you get past things like ACROSS and other copyright protection agents. DVD Shrink has a hard time with ACROSS that's when I pull out DVDFab Decrypter.

 

You got a dvd title that has ACROSS in it so i can see if anydvd can get past it?

 

ahhh the wonder of buring dvd's. have fun with your new drive and watch alot of bootleg videos.
