I want to copy video from my computer to an external DVD writer. What will I need, would it be just an external DVD writer, or is it more complicated than that. Are there any other attachments I might require. Are there different types of writers? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Why can't I open more than one window in IE , have run virtus checks and malware checks but still no joy!

Just the external DVD should do it. Assuming you are buying a new one, you should get software included which will allow you to make DVDs

Oh and some blank DVDs of course!

It depends what video format you have on the computer and what format of video you want to end up with on the eventual DVD. For example do you want a DVD that will work on a computer or a DVD player.

Thanks for answers. I would want to play it on a DVD. I see there are quite a lot of DVD writers on ebay, some of them quite cheap, would they be any good?

Depending on version of windows you may need extra software to write to DVDs
