Is nero any good? go with another..

Thanks for the reply!
I installed nero and I wanted to make sure about one thing. Does nero copy the files on to the DVD-Ram? Or does it directly move them onto the DVD without copying the original file? I'm asking because there is no option to copy/move files on to the DVD. I'm sorry if this question sounds ridiculous but I just want to double check.

First, if you are using DVD-RAM as in a disk enclosed in a plastic cartridge, don't, it's an older standard. Use DVD-R or DVD-RW, you will have more compatability with disk drives.

If you burn a disk, the default is to burn a copy of it. You can move files over to it, but that's not the same thing.

No its not enclosed in a plastic cartridge. Its a Verbatim 5x DVD-RAM.
I choose DVD-RAM because I've read that it has very good data retention. The bad part about DVD-RAM though is that I only found one 5 pack of them at my local computer store.

Not to say I don't have more dvds, I have a 25 pack of DVD-Rs but I don't know what brand there are(Does brand matter?).
I also remember seeing DVD-R/RW that were advertised as "Archival Grade" are archival grade DVDs good or just marketing BS?

Are dual layer DVDs good for archival? Does the disk verify option on nero work with DVD-R because I heard that it rewrites the data in-order to determine if the media was copied properly.
Thanks again!
