yes...

but just in case you were wrong (you are human right???) i want lots of info. from many sources, okay???

this is research

o0o yeah...

i forgot something...

i will only have ONE DVD drive...

i also heard that you could use TWO programs...

what are these???

thanks...

Alcohol 120% is a good backup program. It can backup everything including movies, software and games.

Are you making this your second CD drive?

If not, and this will be the same drive you use to burn CDs, pay close attention to the read/write speed for your regular CDs as well....You could gain the ability to burn a DVD, but suffer a performence decrease in game play, or have to wait 20 minutes to burn your music CD....

no...

i will have the drive that came with the compter (the one i use to play games / CDs) and when i get my DVD burner i will take out the CD burner drive and put in the DVD / CD drive...

i heard about the problem you mentioned before but with two drives, i just solved it

You could also use Dvd Shrink and Nero for all your needs when i bought me dvd burner nero came free with it
