A DVD burner requires blank DVD disks to make a dvd. The price on blank DVDs has come WAY down recently, Im currently buying them for $30 (US) per hundred. -- Larry Lynch Mystic, Ct. Larry |

You will most likely lose quality, but it's simple to do. Instructions on the process are on the same site at the database. Nicholas Andrade |
