I have a TDK DVD player Writer. It came with Roxio which I dont care for.
Does XP by itself support DVD writing and reading. (DVD_RW , DVD+RW etc.)
If not what is the esiest way to do this without having to install a lot of software
I don't want or need.
Thanks

Hi,

No XP is not natively support reading from/writing to DVD files. You need 3rd party softwares like Roxio, Nero etc.

Third Party CD/DVD burning software does a much better job than Windows XP
native.
(That and DVD burning is not supported in Windows XP natively.)
