Needing to Know System Requirements for DVD Burner

Hi Everyone:

I am interested in purchasing a DVD Burner, but, I understand the system must have a lot of horsepower to handle a DVD Burner. With this point in mind, I am interested in learning the system requirements for a DVD Burner.

Thank you

George

As my post stated - you can use the slow system 400MHz (Albertabeef speed & memory of 64MB)- but make sure you record at slow speed and plenty of RAM for caching streaming video to avoid buffer overflow. All manufacturers will recommend the highest speed CPU at the time their product introduction. All manufacturers will recommend the OS for which they have drivers.....

Example: None recommends Linux, because they don't produce driver for Linux. You can install DVD on Linux if you can get your hand on the driver.

So GMartin, unless your system is old (post info if it is) - you will have no problem install the DVD - make sure you select one that support your OS

cheers

>>The practice of publishing 'minimum' and 'suggested' requirements demonstrates that they recognize that while the minimum will work, your're not going to get satisfactory performance...

I only looked at the hardware requirements, which don't take into consideration applications and their performance.

I think chicagoan has a very, very good point here.
