Thread: Computer Lingo ???

Walmart carries the blank CD's and DVD's. The burners can be found online.

You might consider a DVD burner. The software / hardware can differentiate which media is loaded. Additionally, the storage in the cameras is growing. I use a 512 MB card in my camera. That almost fills a normal CD (700 MB capacity). On a two week trip, I can fill the memory card more than once.

If your computer has a USB2 or a Firewire port then you could go with an external unit. Windows 2000 and XP are generally plug and play. You don't have to install drivers; they exist in the operating system. The latest DVD burners are double layer (9GB). You also want one that is dual format. It will work with both the +R and the -R formats. It should also handle rewritables.
