No DVD writer--what can I do?

[mrpeter]

I have recently downloaded 'DVD Photo Professional evaluation version' to create a slide show of pics off my digital camera. I have managed to create the slide show, pics, music etc and step three was to burn to a DVD disc. At this point a dialogue box appears to say , No DVD Writer can be found. What do I do now? Is it a piece of hardware I require or can I download a freebie from somewhere?

Your PC doesn't have the facility to write DVDs, i.e. copy (write) files to a blank DVD disc (although you may be able to watch DVDs).

You need an external DVD writer that will plug in to your PC via a USB port.

Many thanks Snags for quick reply.

Alternatively you could copy your files on to an external hard drive or flashdrive/memory stick and download them on to another PC that does have a DVD writer facility...
