You'll need some kind of third-party software to do that. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(DTS) Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt

You would need a third party program. Here's a free one. CDBurnerXPPro http://www.cdburnerxp.se/download.php Good luck Nepatsfan
Guest Alan T Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Re: Can Windows Explorer copy files to DVD in XP? Just wonder, I got Roxio Creator installed and it can burn data files into CD but seems not DVD. I mean burn data files not create movie DVD, like Nero can burn files onto DVD. I am looking through the Roxio forum at the same time to see if I can find the answer.

Guest Nepatsfan Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Re: Can Windows Explorer copy files to DVD in XP? I'm not familiar with Roxio Creator, but a quick check on their web site would seem to indicate that it is capable of writing DVDs. Keep in mind that you also need a DVD burner. Make sure your drive says DVD R/RW on the front.
