DVD Burning Questions!
Rich.:
Thinking about buying a cheap dvd burner. One question:
I have limited hardrive space (10 gb) and was wondering when I was making a dvd copy (clone) would I be able to do this with just one drive? Would it do it as in the same way as if you were "cloning" a cd; by temporarly storing it on the hardrive then buring to dvd?
Cheers!

yes. you'll need almost 5gb of free hdd space for the dvd files.

Ok, thanks for that!

You would prolly have a prob even with 5gb free if it is a 10gb drive. 5400rpm drives work ok for video, but 7200rpm work better. It all depends on the speed that you are trying to burn at.
If you have a 4200, I doubt you would be able to burn at anything higher than 2x (if that)
