This is bound to be a daft question but I,ll ask anyway. With my external burner, can I burn dvd,s to my hard drive to watch on my pc?

Will it really? A proper movie I mean, and I can play it from my burner?

Id have thought it was a reader/burner bat… the one in your comp tower is that just a CD reader or does it read DVD’s too
The one in my comp tower is just a cd rom drive. I have an external burner plugged into my usb port. On the front it says,
RW RW DVDdvd ReWriteable DVD R DL R/RW
Does that mean I can just plug the burner in and watch a dvd on it?

yes :)
Great. I tried it and it works, BUT, why cant I hear anything? I,ve done the volume etc, but I cant hear a bloody thing. grrrrrrrrrrrrr :evil: :evil:
Ok Owen I,ve tested that and it says….
Your sound card does not support hardware buffering. Sounds will only play back from sofware buffers.
wtf does that mean in English? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :evil: :evil: :evil:
How do I play DVDs in Windows Media Player?
To play DVDs using the Player, you must have a DVD-ROM drive, a
computer running the Microsoft Windows XP operating system, and
either a software or hardware DVD decoder installed on your computer.
(By default, Windows does not include a DVD decoder.)For more information about DVD decoders, see the
DVD Support in Windows XP Web page.If these conditions are met, you can play DVDs by using Windows Media
Player for Windows XP or later. For more information, see the
Play CDs and DVDs Web page.I found this link to freeware dvd players.
I reccmmend Quicktime Player.
Hope that helps poor Bat! :wink:I’m very suprised that the appropriate software was not included with
your DVD drive. What make and model number is it?The dvd thingy came with 2 cd roms. One installed summat called
nero oem suite, which is a bit like windows media player and the other cd was cyberlink power dvd, BUT there was no activation key sent with the poxy bloody thing!! grrrrrrrr, plus, I didnt know about decoders, n one told me I needed one of them ffs, SO, thanks to you, bless ya, I,ve just purchased one on line. You get your e-mail teling you you,ve bought the thing, then u have to wait for another one to tellyou your activation code ffs. So once I,ve got that, hopefully I,ll be able to hear my dvd,s. FFS why does everything have to be so bloody complicated?? grrrrrrrrrrr.. Thanks Owen, bless ya heart. xxxxxxxxxxNero is the software you need to burn CD’s and DVD’s. It’s superior to
Windows. :wink:The Cyberlink Power DVD software allows you to watch DVD on your pc.
You only needed to register it online, and they’d have sent you the unlock
code for free.
You purchased the software as part of the package with your DVD burner.@Ow£n Ka$h wrote:
