DVD Software
After choosing a format, it’s
important to look at the software that comes with the DVD drive. For
example, Digital Research has an Internal DVD+RW drive that comes with
Pinnacle Instant CD, Pinnacle Studio 8, and WinDVD. Pinnacle Studio
8 is a superior program for digital video editing. You might pay quite
a bit for a stand alone version of Studio 8. So, if your goal is to
produce videos, you might want to select a DVD burner that comes with
quality video production software. That can save you some money.
The HP DVD300I comes with ArcSoft
ShowBiz DVD, Veritas RecordNow and DLA and Simple Backup. That bundle
of software probably isn’t as great.
Verbatim DVD burners come with Nero
Express, Vision Express, InCD, Sonic MyDVD, and WinDVD.
Typically, the software included
with a DVD burner will include software for watching DVD movies (WinDVD),
software for creating and editing videos (Studio 8 or ArcSoft), and
software for using your DVD burner as a backup device (InCD or Nero
Express). Windows Media Player will also play DVD movies.
