    If using [bold]Nero Burning Rom[/bold]

    'New' is there !! :)

    On the screen where you get DVD/CD selection , in the column directly underneath is a selection that has DVD-Video as an option (choose that). Then look in the furthest right top corner of the splash-box in the middle of screen it has 'New' 'Cancel' or 'Open'

    Yes ??

    No no no no!!!!!

    DON'T buy the cheapest writer you can find, you will regret it later.

    Start looking for a Pioneer 105 (the 106 has been out for a while and the 105's are real cheap now, just make sure it is new).

    The firmware is stable, the drives are reliable, and just about every burning program in the world supports them PROPERLY.

    Ok, they are not the quickest but a few minutes extra on the burn time is no handicap (which is better? a FAST drive that turns out a number of coasters OR a SLIGHTLY SLOWER one that works just fine?).

    Read through the forums, read the threads from people with the latest no-name whizz-bang drives that have problems they cannot get solved (software compatability, reliability, burn failures).

    Now read the threads from people with Pioneer drives, their problems get solved....

    Just my views, my 2 cents worth...

    Go with what you think is best for you.

    Have Fun...
