Bieke says: You do need software. I use my Mac and iDVD, but I don't have the slightest idea what works well on the PC. Anybody else with suggestions????

What happens when you just put a blank DVD-R in the drive when iDVD isn't running? Does the Mac recognize it as a blank DVD then and let you drag files???

Guys,

The PC equivalent of iDVD
is Adobe Encore. It's a great
program that shakes hands with
photoshop, after effects, and all the other adobe products. I hope that helps. I did some DVD authoring for awhile, so feel free to ask more questions.

Best,

Zach

I use Sonic's MyDVD, which came with my computer. It's really easy to use and works fine. On their Web site (www.sonic.com) it lists the basic version at 49.99.

I just used MyDVD to test it on my PC. It's pretty good for a home tool that isn't outrageously expensive. Really, it's not expensive at all and will do menus and slideshows and everything. I think that's what I would use if I just had a PC.
