So I have two DVD burners/drives and I have a few discs with data on that I need copying to other blank DVDs. I have got the disc I need copying in one drive and a blank disc in the other. Can Windows do this or do I need other software such as cdburnerxp or a free trial of nero burning rom? Or is their any better free software or trials? Any help would be nice, had a look for a video showing how to do so, but couldn't find one.

Your DVD burner should've come bundled with a DVD burning utility/software. I personally prefer using Nero as that has been bundled with pretty much any/all of my DVD burners back when I used to sue them. Windows can do it but the write speed during a burning operation cannot be regulated. I burn my disks at x8 speed or slower if I'm burning/creating an OS installation disk as any fast speed writing will tend to give an error on the data written to disc.

Here's a freeware courtesy of Nero. Might I also suggest to have your content saved onto a hard drive and then written onto a DVD later on as DVD-DVD writing/burning tends to also produce quite a lot of errors.
