Hi Lasalette,

May I suggest you click on the CD/RW link in my post and scroll to Section 8-100. Ther you will find articles on the subject as well as Ron B.`s FAQ on the subject, follow the links to his site and also the link to Video Help.
This should get you started

Best of luck and Happy New Year!

An even dumber question:  I have a Dimension 4700, Pent 4 (2.8 GHz); 512 MB Duel Channel at 400 MHz; 160GB Serial ATA Hard Drive; with a Single Drive 16X CD/DVD Burner (DVD+/- RW).  Does this mean that both + and - RW DVD's are compatable with my machine?  If so, does anyone have a recommendation which (+ or -) R and RW I should use?

Hi RussRob,

No dumb questions my friend, answers ..well we will not go there, actually you may see one here to some degree....lol

OK, the first part is easy, a drive listed as DVD+/-RW, should mean that it supports writing to both DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW media, so yes you can use both with yours.
I have found Fujiflim and Verbatim to be very good media, so I do not hink you will go wrong trying either, which format you need for your home DVD player(s) is another story, you may be able to find reference to the media from the vendors web site or Service Manual for the drive.
Many times it is a trail`n error.

Best Regards
