DVD Burning

[XozXX]

Hello, I need help with DVD Burning. I'm not so good with computers; so please bare with me. I need to burn DVD+R DL discs, but I need to know if I can upgrade to a better DVD Burner. I currently have a CD-RW Drive, but I don't think that can burn DVD+R DL discs. I was wondering if I could upgrade my DVD Burner to this - HP - 24x Internal Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive. My system has these kind of statistics -

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 3

Intel(R)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz
2.79 GHz 504 MB of Ram

Thanks! If my CD-RW Drive can burn them, please tell me. I'd rather not waste $50. Again, if this sounds stupid, I'm not that good with computers. Thanks! - XozXX -

A CD drive cannot play nor burn DVD discs. The HP burner will work just fine with that system and be a direct replacement for your current drive.

On the dvd burning note I just got my first dvd burner and the burned dvds dont play in dvd player, They play through the computer though, any suggestions?

My best guess would be that the burned DVD is not in a format that the DVD player can read.

You need specialized dvd ripping/video converting and burning software in order to make dvds readable by a standalone dvd player. You can't burn just any video file and make it work.
