Windows Explorer to write data files to DVD

[Richard Fangnail]

Windows Explorer in XP was a clumsy way to write data files to CD/
DVDs.
Is W.E. in Vista any better regarding this?

If not, can you recommend free programs for writing data to DVDs?

There are some good options for burning media files via Windows Media Player
/ Windows Media Center, but general writing of data files in Windows
Explorer to DVD is imho even clumsier: you have the added concern of the
file format of the CD / DVD to be concerned with (ie 'live file format' vs
'mastered').

You'll need third party software to create / burn iso images etc.

XP could never write to DVD natively.....

Try this, it's free.

I second ImgBurn.
I gave up a commercial tool in favor of this freebie.
