am sure most places can supply you with one, but make sure you have a usb2 port or it'll be dead slow, can get a usb2 pcmcia card for around £20 if you haven't.

"All I want to do is burn all my huge video files" \na)Any friend have a a External USB Hard drive? to backup all the stuff.\nb) Purchase a External USB enclousure and insert your hard drive to enable it USB. then do a backup.\nc) Puchase a External USB enclousure and put the DVD burner in it, to do backups with your friends. There a lot of cheaper items on the web.

VCD Cutter does this & it's quite cheap as well.\nIntervideo DVD Player does this as well, & works for non-DVD files as well...

If it's for a desktop/external?  Look at the outside cd-tray.  It will say something like either "DVD-rom" or "DVD +/- RW" or something like that.  If it says "DVD +/- RW" or "+/- R" or any combo containing the ending of RW  or R then, yes, it's a burner.

If you want a portable DVD burner (which also burns CD's), an external burner is the way to go. They are generally more expensive than internal, but you can use the burner on 2 or more computers, and are portable to use on laptops, etc. \n\nI'm presuming you're from Australia, so retail stores such as Officeworks, Harvey Norman and Bing Lee should have a range of these. Look out for the price, if it concerns you, and brand. Apparently LG is no good, and many cheaper brands work as well as expensive brands such as Sony or Pioneer.

Tech Man is right   www.newegg.com  has got  good ones cheap  NEC is really good i have 2500 burns on mine still works great.  Some DVD Burners come with Nero.  Some are OEM wich is just the DVD Drive.  You can get nero from the nero.com website for a trial, then search online for a serial number and get the progam for free. But its not recommended.   Good Luck man but Nero is the Best no questions asked!

Hi,\n\nNothing is for free. Can you explain further? Are you actually expecting someone to tell you where you can get a DVD writer at no cost? Be real.\n\nTry this site for reasonably priced DVD writers:\n\nhttp://www.salescircular.com

You may want to try MicroCenter, they sell OEM drives(means it just comes in a bag, no manual and such).  Good drives too, Samsung!\n\nI paid about $29 for my dual layer DVD burner that also will burn lightscribe disks.   It also came with a free version of Nero Express that gives you all the basic DVD burning functions that you need.\n\nI believe that you can order off their website as well if there is not a store near you,\n\nMikeC

It depends on what you are looking for but I would get one with at least 512MB of memory. In that category there is the Acer Aspire with an AMD Sempron 3000+ processor, 512MB of memory, 60GB hard drive, a 15.4" WXGA display (1280 x 800 resolution), a CD-RW/DVD-Rom drive, you aren't going to find a DVD burner in this price range and of course, 802.11b/g wireless for $600 (after a $200 rebate).  You will have to enter your zip code to see if a Circuit City near you has it because it is only available in store.\n\nThere are several other choices but none of them have the value that the one I have listed does, if you can find it, it is a very good value and should suit your needs provided you don't intend to do any heavy gaming on it.\n\nNewegg has something very similar for $769 but if you can find it at Circuit City, I would highly recommend doing so, buy it online if you can't find it in store.\n\nI wouldn't even consider a Dell or Gateway. I like laptops from Acer, Toshiba and HP.

a Dvd,,, or an external Hard Drive

HP makes an external DVD-RW drive that has Lightscribe technology. This is the feature that, if you have the correct discs, allows you to burn the DVD data, then turn over the disc in the drive, and burn a title and images into the label side of the disc. It sure looks better than stick-on labels or writing on it with a Sharpie, IMHO. (I have one as an internal drive in my own HP Pavilion.)\n\nThe retail price for the external version, at least at Wal-Mart, is around $130.00 or so.\n\nI don't know for sure of it's compatibility with a laptop, but since the external version connects by USB, I think it would be fine.
