external dvd rewriter software


Question Posted Tuesday January 13 2009, 2:26 am

I just got this product called external super multi dvd rewriter. from this company called LG and it costed like a 100 dollars. The problem is it comes with this software cd and there is this thing called nero on it i dont know if that is a dvd burning program but all it let me install is the securdisc viewer. do i have a defective product so i can return it cause 100 dollars and it looks like i should have gotten something much cheaper. isnt it supposed to automatically play when i put in the software it came with and show pictures and stuff?

No. You shouldn't need to use the disk at all. Hook up the drive and use a DVD burning program to do something with it. Nero is a burning program, but the version on the disk is probably just a trial. Nero costs more than the drive, so I doubt they would include a full version.

Once it's hooked up, the drive should appear in "My Computer". If not, go to the LG website and install the drivers for the exact model number of the drive. Don't use the software on the included disk, it's probably old and buggy.

Insert a blank CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, or DVD+RW into the drive. Use CD Burner XP Pro to burn data or music to the disk:

Use DVD Flick to burn a DVD-Video to the disk:

$100 is a reasonable price for an external DVD burner.
