I need to copy many pics from my computer to disc to play on a computer or dvd player. Is this the best way to go?

You should be able to burn the pictures to these DVD-R's and others should be able to copy them and view them as they wish. Of course, you could prevent that if needed, but that isn't what you asked. I've successfully burned many pictures to these for later use and sharing, without problems. Most of my pictures are less than 200 kb in size or less, so one DVD-R holds a LOT of pictures, too. These hold a lot more than a CD-R would.

DVD Fab seems to work very well. if you copy Bluray discs they will only play on your computer, they wont play on PS3 or new Bluray players .

Do you mean the software to run the cdrom? or are you trying to copy a software to your computer, like cd to pc? The DVD ROM is plug and play with Windows OS. We had it on windows 7, though it needed two usb ports to power. If you are trying to copy a cd on to a pc, then it would depend on the software copyright. A music cd, you can rip using windows media player. A movie, probably not. A program, maybe, depending on if you can grab everything into a folder. Let me know if you need assistance,Thanks,Kevin

Yes. You can copy the contents of the DVD to a USB drive on another computer. Then install it on your dvd-less computer. Verified to work.

I use them to copy pictures from my computer. I use a Nero Program- it is simple and easy to use.Rich

You mean take a CD and make MP3 files? MILLIONS of programs can do this. Hell Windows Media Player can but I'm not sure if that's your preference. Quintessential Player is my favorite so far, you can download it at quinnware.com. It allows you to rip from 8 kbps to 320 kbps and has a variable encoder as well. I haven't heard of many good DVD rippers that are free.

If you have the camera there is transfer boxes you can buy for about $30, I'm sure on amazon too. You just plug audio/video cables in and transfer anything to the computer, then burn it on DVD. I have one and it works great. If you don't have the camera there should be something that just plays the tapes, may be hard to find though. Mini DV camcorders are obsolete now, should be able to find one pretty cheap or on eBay to use for transferring tapes.

It is best to record on cd-r. Also, it depends on what was recorded. Some machines cannot play certain file formars

It will ask you what type, but best is JPEG if you want to print some later! But it was SOOOO slow I returned it to Amazon and took my slides to Costco to be put on a DVD. They formatted a slide presentation with titles,music, graphics etc. It was painless and efficient as I had hundreds of slides for many years. I now am able to take the DVD to friends and family to show.

Hi,It is very easy to use. Just plug into the USB ports on your laptop and activate/play your DVD (note that this player comes with a double USB port connector, so it is helpful if your computer system has double USB ports side by side, if not, it will be helpful to get a multi-USB port device).

Check the "DVD Recording Compatibility Guide" under "Product Description". If your CD/DVD drive says "DVD" on it you should be able to write pictures to these discs.Note that you can only write to a DVD-R once, so you need to move all the pictures you want on it to it at one time.

what is the "copy" function? Do I put in a dvd, select copy, then put in a blank dvd and copy to it?

To be honest with you Jim, I have not done any recording with this laptop yet, not on DVDs. Based on past experience with other computers, I would suggest using a good quality DCD R+ disk. If you are ordering in bulk like we did, check the reviews for the brand carefully. We had one batch of el cheapo blanks that once they were recorded could not be played. I wound up throwing a lot of music away. I've copied few CDs without incident. Good luck with your Gateway. After using this since April, I will never go back to a desktop PC.

There is no way to copy from a memory card to a disc as there is no disc drive. It is purely and exclusively a printer. But, it is perfect for my husband, who is not computer savvy to use by himself.

Well, I'm not an expert on DVD burning, but my experience is that you should have no problem. The scanner produces a jpg file for each slide or negative scanned. With DVD burning software, which is installed on most computers, you can transfer the files from the flash memory card to a DVD. Most computers now have a flash memory card reader built in, or you can read the files with a USB adaptor which is included with the scanner. There is, of course, a limit to the number of images you will be able to put on a DVD. My DVDs store about 4 GB, but my flash memory card holds about 16 GB, so I would need 4 DVDs to hold the images on a full memory card. Jay

The Bluray Disc can be copied if you have a Bluray player connected to your computer and then also a Bluray burner. Both DVD discs and Bluray discs can be copied, provided they have no Copyright. To copy you need also a software which is generally provided with the Burner. If you just want to copy only it is not necessary to have a bluray player, you can read and write with the bluray burner also but it takes a little longer. For the time being I have a Buffalo burner which does quite good job.

This is just for dvds/cds. You can put pictures onto a blank disc, or install software,
