I should mention I can play bought DVD's on my laptop as well as burn DVD's if I wanted too but, I still prefer CD burns in Nero. It's just easier for me and and less expensive. I dont keep everything on my HD, LOTR. My laptop doesnt have the space for that so I burn everything on disks anyway and dont download as much as I used too as I got more than I need for music files from my Napster days which is close to 20 CD's, data burns, full of music.
