We talk about the differences between CDs and DVDs as well as learn how to copy or burn files to discs in Windows 7 so that you can use them for data storage.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video. Your instructions were so easy for me - a tech challenged retired teacher. Got a manual copied so I could print it and begin to use the machine it's for. Thank you very much!!
Good video, I have a very good question that nobody can seem to answer, for years I have been using Nero 7 to burn my data dvds, but I just realized that it is a pretty old program now... I wonder, do newer programs like a newer nero burn the disk BETTER? or for instance will burning them through windows 7 through windows exploror burn them better and make them last longer? Or is there just not a difference? I have some pretty old burns like probably over 5 years old now that still work fine... But I just want to know should I update the program or just keep using Nero 7?
Question can you put games downloaded off the internet on to these discs and can you put game files on flash drives if they have the GBs to store it on the drive and then plug it in a laptop so you can use it there from there?
Will this process work for "Executable Files" (.exe)? I ask because I would like to use the DVD as my "install" disk to install the program on another computer. If not, what would be a more efficient procedure of copying .EXE/Install files to DVD? Your assistance on this would be highly appreciated.
I have copied (an pasted) some software Applications onto a usb Flash Drive. I next want to Copy and Paste them, from the Flash Drive, onto a dvd disc. (I choose dvd rather than cd because the capacity is greater.) Can I be confident the Softwares will open, once burned to disc, to preserve them? Copy and pasting a couple of times over should not degrade them - right? Thanks.
What if I want a dvd to be able to watch videos when is set to a dvd player, but when is set to a laptop or desktop, I also want it to have data so one can use it as a usb. How can both work in one dvd?????
If you have a re-writable disc you should be able to reuse it even if you choose the cd/dvd player option. RW disc allow you to delete data from the disc whereas standard cds will only allow files to be written on the disc, not deleted. Hope this helps!! -Ryan
I have just received a zip folder of 263 photos via a website called 'we transfer' and I wish to burn whole contents a DVD. Will I be able to transfer these to burn this in one go, or will I have to isolate each item and do them individually?
If you use a DVD to save files and it is writeable but not re-writeable R not RW, can you keep adding files, but not editing the already saved files, or is this a one shot deal?
