Default Burn 25GB of avi files onto DVD-Rs (XP)

Hi Chaps

I'm struggling here.

I have a folder full of avi files (not ****, before you ask!! ) ..

and I need to get them onto DVDs in time for the morning.

XP doesn't seem to support drag and drop copying to DVD-R.

Anybody know how to do this? Ideally, I can just set it running and it will keep spitting out DVD's and asking me to stick a new one in?

Cheers

Simon

You can only drag and drop onto DVD-RW. To burn onto DVD-R you need to create a disc image to burn.

If you don't have any software to do this, you could try using "cd burner xp" - CDBurnerXP: Introduction and News

You legends.. thanks guys.

So with that software would I need to manually create 4GB (ish) images?

Or can it still take care of it all for me?

If I go and buy some DVD-RW's instead of my crappy Rs () will that allow me to drag and drop?

DVD-Rs are a better bet.

You just load the software, use it to select what files you want on the dvd, and click burn. It will do all the rest for you
