Re: Software for a DVD+-RW Drive

Nero 5.5 can burn DVD's, does it nicely, but unless it detects a DVD-Writer
the DVD functionality is not even there; it should appear when you run it
with a DVD-RW installed, if not then make sure that it sees the DVD-Writer
in recorders, and maybe you'll have to re-install the software.

Nero can select DVD writing in the top left of the burning dialogue box.
