I'm guessing you're talking about making Video-DVD's.

I understood that the version you noted in your post title is an OEM one that usually comes with when you buy a drive or a pc. If that's the case, and you have a burner capable of burner dual layer (DL) dvd discs, I would think that software should work for you.

If not, Creator 2009 or MyDVD 10 listed on their products site are both able to burn to a DL dvd disc. Provided of course that you have a dvd burner that is capable of burning DL discs.

Whether they are "not complicated" is going to depend on your experience with making Video-DVD's. Working with video and making discs is not a quick "point & click" process with any software. It is relatively easy once you work with the software and understand how the world of video works.

Unless you're in a time crunch, in which case I would recommend the Creator 2009, if you wait a few weeks, they're likely to be coming out with a new version soon. They have for the last few years right around Sept. Also, if you order directly from them (Roxio), it comes with a 30 day return policy if you're not happy with it. If you buy it at a store, you probably can't return it once you open it.

Thanks Larry. I'll try one DL DVD and see.
