Burning DVD's toplay on stand alone DVD player.

Since Windows Media Player will not burn movies to DVD, which program would
be the best at a reasonable cost to use and is there more to it than just
loading the program and clicking the "BURN" button?
Lets pretend, for a moment, that I'm NOT computer saavy and am a first time
owner (of a good computer, at least) and don't really know what I'm doing.
Thanks

Also, if it's not too much trouble, what type of media should I be using?
Right now I'm using Memorex (HP) DVD-R. Should I go to a DVD+r?

Of course this assumes that you own the movies and want to make back-ups to protect your movies.
I use Anydvd and clonedvd they are quite resonable and have a lifetime license. ( At least they did when I purchased them )
I do use memorex although they can have troubles, the best would be probably Verbatim media and -R does seem to be the most compatable with DVD players, but +R also works on most. Let us know how things go for you. Oh and by the way the last time I checked at "Slyfox" they had a 20% off coupon for the above software until September 28.

Hi J. Deere,

There is free one you may like to try, it looks straightforward and may be what you are looking for
