Help Archiving to DVD in XP Pro

Hi,

No, it doesn't, you have to use third party software. Personally, I find
Nero's easier to use than Roxio's, but it's really more a matter of personal
preference.

Windows XP cannot burn natively to DVD+/-R/RWs.

I like Nero much more than Roxio for burning CDs/DVDs.

No. It only has a CD copying capability.
