Nothing wrong with your DVD burner.  None of them are able to copy professional DVDs with copy protection on them.  That what copy protection means - you can't copy it.  While there are some programs that get around copy protection, be warned that they are illegal and it is possible to be arrested just for owning the software, you don't even have to use it.  (I will let others debate whether thats fair or not - I'm just making sure you know what the current law is.)

Some Dells are made to where only Dell products can be used. Or else, I know Pioneer makes great DVD burners.

FYI \nYou can buy an OEM version of NERO for about $6 shipped.  Just do a search in Yahoo Shopping.  It will be better than trying to use freeware to burn DVDs.

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.

Greetings:  It depends what you are looking for, for example, do you need CDR/DVD, built-in wireless, do you want light weight - or doesn't matter - all these things you have to think before you purchase - overall I will say - no one can bit DELL's aggresive marketing and price.  There is on for $649 dollars + I believe $99 dollars upgrade for CDR/DVD.  Check out in their website.  But watch out for the shipping charges.  You might want to think a great somewhat used laptop from some pc store.  Let me know if you need any info regarding that.  Good Luck

Typically depends on the burner.  Some run hotter than others.  If it came pre-built from LG (ie: you did not buy an internal DVD drive and put it inside an enclosure) then it shouldn't be a problem if it does not have a fan.  They'd know better than anyone...

I have rarely had problems with any brand of media. Having a good quality DVD burner matters more, in my experience.  I'm using a Benq DW1640 and it will burn consistently even on the cheapest no-name DVDs.

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

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.

Trust me. You don't want to bother with it. \n\nYou could probably buy the dvd used on Amazon for a buck.

If the drive does not burn, just read, you will need a new DVD drive.
