Hi Liz, You can burn anything onto a DVD - music, video, data, etc. You can store up to 4.7 billion characters. When selecting a target media, make sure that you select DVD, as burning procedure for CD's and DVD's are quite different (at least in the hardware side). You can use DVD-ISO format to burn data DVD's which contains mp3's documents, and so forth.

I have several large folders and I thought rather than using a ton of cds I would put them on to dvd since they have a larger capacity. Some of the large folders are old time radio files. Could I burn them on to a dvd using the data cd as for normal cd burning or do I need to specify that the disc is a dvd not a cd? One of my mp3 folders is 1.2 gb. I am using nero express and there is the place where you fill in whether you are copying a cd burning etc. and the other window thing which asks you for the format data audio etc. I just want to get it correct the first time. The clerk at the computer store said the only thing one could burn on a dvd was movies but I wasn't sure if he was correct. Regards, Liz Wade -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
