Computer question

OK, so how do I know if I have a DVD writer?? On the front of the thing that plays DVD's and CD's it has DVD R/RW then R DL in the middle of the drawer (if you know what I mean). I know I can play DVD's but have never tried to write one, but now i have all these movies from my new digital camera which are taking up a bit of space, so I thought if I could save them to disk it might free things up a bit..... Any ideas?
Cheers

Sounds like a recorder to me, as well.

You will need a software program to write with such as Nero or M/soft media player or Power DVD. I use Nero, have no problems. Takes up memory at times tho. M/SOFT movie maker may also be OK

Grant may have more knowledge than I do:)

Yep, it should be able to burn DVDs. It should also have come with the above mentioned software, on disk if not installed.

I have power DVD, but that is just for watching DVD's from what I can tell... I have something called NTI CD and DVD maker, I guess that will do the job, looks a bit irish to me, but then I haven't done this before. Not much point at the moment either, I don't have any blank DVD's!
