It is pretty easy to install a DVD or CD drive. Your PC manual should tell how to R&R drives, and the new drive will come with paperwork. The main thing is to set the jumper on the back per the manual. Also, if you want to play a DVD, the software bundled with the burner may not have the DVD codec required to view DVDs. You can download a trial version of WinDVD.
Hi. I have been wanting to purchase a dvd burner for a while now. I have no idea how difficult or easy the process is. I have hundreds of WMV clips that I want to convert to DVD format and save on disc.
I have an hp computer and windowsXP. I have no idea how to attach an internal burner, and guessing I might not be able to do that all by myself, so was thinking about trying an external one, since I do have a few tapes that I'd love to transfer onto dvd.
Any and all advice and help would be greatly appreciated. I really don't know much about the whole dvd burning thing, and have NO idea what the process is like. Is it fairly easy and clear to follow??. I'm really clueless about this kind of stuff, so I'm most concerned about if and how I'll be able to get the burner working properly and get started and burn effective dvd discs for myself.
Please help!. Thanks.
