Backing Up to DVD

[Tower]

Hello all,

Here's the non-techie asking techy type questions again.

I want to burn a data DVD rather than a CD so I don't have to have as many discs lying around. I tried doing it through the windows explorer on Windows XP but it would not work.

Any free software out there that would do the job?

Nero, roxio easy media creator, alcohol 120%, nti etc etc ....they all burn dvds.....

I have roxio mydvd9.0 but I'm just getting to use it for my family videos. I'm currently copying it to my HDD

Will it actually copy other data files for a direct burn, or is it only for video creation?

If you are just looking for a program to burn data files to DVD (and CD), check out the open source InfraRecorder. Do a Google search for it and you will find it no problem. It's a free download, I use it and can recommend it. It also comes with a nice and simple disc copying program.
