I've been burning vcds for the past year (don't know what I'm doing, just lucky!) I zipped a million of them, waiting for the day I'd have a dvd burner. My son installed the sony yesterday, but says there's no burning software with it. What should I get for my purpose? Will do little if any dvd-dvd copying, just continue to download flicks to burn.

Also, what brand of dvd to get? Bought some off yahoo, and they're the right type (dvd+r) but don't seem to play.

Thanks, and sorry if I'm asking a question already asked.
