DVD Software - which to use?

[josh.c]

I have just bought a new Sony DVD + and - Burner. Not sure what software comes with it yet but am looking to purchase good software. I currently own about 50 dvd's and want to make copies of them as they are getting scratched by use but understand that they have protection. Cany any one recommend good software to use? Thanks Also is dvd + or dvd - blank dvd's the way to go? As this burner supports both, im not sure of the differences. Information would be much appreciated for a first time user.

Here's a good article that should tell you everything you want to know:http://www.cdfreaks.com/article/117

For media, check the model and look it up in the "DVD Players" section on the left toolbar. It should tell you which media is more compatible.

I urge all newbies to look at the guides FIRST and then ask corresponding questions.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask...
