There is no way to record DVD disc in Windows system prior to Vista version. The user has to use some 3rd party software to make the DVDs.
Windows Vista allows the use to burn DVD disc, but has no luck with HD DVD and BluRay format, so some additional software is required.
There are many Windows DVD software on the market. Some of them simple and free, others are expensive monsters. You may choose any of them on the own test.
HD DVD or High-Definition DVD is a new format of optical data and video discs.
HD-DVD was designed to be the successor to the standard DVD format.
HD DVD disc can store 15 GB per layer instead of 4.7 GB per layer for the first generation of DVD discs.
DVD Blaster software version 1.0 has been released.
Burn disks of any kind - from Audio CD to High-Definition Video. DVD Blaster works with all CD, DVD and HD burning hardware with no issues, and supports all optical disk formats from legacy Audio CD to brand-new Blu-Ray and HD-DVD disks.
Can your brand new PC burn DVD movies? Most Windows XP machines can't do that, and only support CD burning at best. Windows Vista adds support for DVD media, but the industry invented two new high-definition formats - Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, which Vista cannot cope with. So did you spend your money for a brand new high-def disc burner for nothing? Are you a hostage of big greedy media companies that want to charge you hundreds of dollars for the features you thought you already paid for?
That was the unfortunate truth until very recently. But not anymore! Burn just about any disc format in the world with the brand new DVD Blaster! DVD Blaster software supports all current optical disc formats from legacy Audio CD to brand-new Blu-Ray and HD-DVD discs. Of course, you can burn a data CD, a single or double-layer DVD video or data disc just as easily!
Did you download a high-def burning utility only to find that it does not support your minty Blu-Ray burner? Got a message saying "Your disc burner is not supported, please update the driver"? DVD Blaster works with all CD, DVD and HD burning hardware with no issues.
Ever had a bunch of MP3s handy, but couldn't figure how to make a proper CD to play back in your car? Make an Audio CD from WAV, MP3, WMA, OGG, ASF or WMV files from within a single application. Make a Video CD, Super VCD or even a DVD video from a movie in almost any video format from the very same application. Burning data CDs and DVDs is equally easy no matter what you store. Erase or rewrite CD-RW discs, create double-layer DVDs and perform just about any burning task with DVD Blaster.
Burning a disc is now extremely simple thanks to the DVD Blaster new wizard-style interface. Feel a little more advanced than that? Try the all-new Power GUI that allows you to fine-tune your discs and adjust burning properties. Want to fit more on a CD or DVD than the standard allows? It's often not only possible, but even advertised on the disc labels - except that no standard CD/DVD burning application supports the unusual sizes. Increase your storage capacity safely and easily with DVD Blaster's Power GUI by adjusting the Overburn!
Did you ever wonder what's inside that ISO file? ISO files are disc images that contain information about the entire CD or DVD disc. Without DVD Blaster your only choice to see what's there and use it would be actually burning the image onto a blank media. Not anymore! DVD Blaster conveniently mounts the ISO image and creates a separate drive letter, allowing you to work with the image as if it was a real disc inserted into your CD/DVD drive - yet without actually burning anything! No need to waste blank media, and no more waiting till the burning finishes - just mount an image with DVD Blaster, and you're ready to roll.
