Advice for DVD burning/formating

[WazaKrash]

Soon, I'm going to try to burn the contents of a DVD on my computer.

Anybody could recommend me a good software to burn DVD directly to computer, please?

and maybe a good software to formating/reset dvd?
(to delete all the content of the dvd without losing weight - 7 Go -)

Burn a dvd-video(video_ts folder)?

[WazaKrash]

(I think) yes.

and to format it too

[WazaKrash]

Because it doesn't work when I want to format it "manually", I tried it a lot of time and yet.

and when people format their dvds, is the size of it reduce?

For Nero or Express Burn, are they good?

Use ImgBurn to burn ISO images or VIDEO_TS folders to DVD R or RW media. There's no need to format discs before burning. Formatting is only necessary for DVD RW media that you want to use like a floppy disc.

Ok thanks jagabo, I will test it, and if one of my DVD RW is finalize, to erase his content and record another video on it, I have to format it?

You probably do not have "RW"(rewritable) discs.
The little RW that appears on many DVD brands does NOT mean you can burn to them more than once.

These discs are WRITE ONCE(one time).

Yes, the RW is a logo, not the type of disc.

Yep you're right, I verify and I have dvd+r and dvd rw.

the two can be confused easily
