Hey all,

Need some advice - replaced my CD burner with a DVD burner in my home PC and now need to get some DVD burning software - any recomendations?

I've used Nero a few times but have heard it crashes a bit. Currently have Sonic RecordNow which is no use for DVDs.

I've got the newest nero (well, the OEM one that comes bundled with our XP machines) and never had any problems using it at work with external DVD burners...

If you use premier(PC) or final cut pro (mac) both have Excellent DVD burn suites which allow you to design your own DVD interface etc. Clever stuff. A bit complex if your only using it to burn illegal copies of films etc :D

I have nero 7 and have no probs with it you might also need a bit of software called dvd shrink that lets you make " backup " ;)copys of origonal dvds with copy protection.
