Copying Videos to Dvd

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

Hi Cari,
Thank you for your reply.
I am not computer literate, I have used DVD+RW via Norton Ghost 9 to back up
my system and the discs I used to copy the videos was DVD+R. I am afraid I
do not know what DVD decoding software is, or whether I have it or not.
