    CD or DVD
    « on: July 26, 2008, 02:26:25 PM »
    I am wanting to copy content from casset to disk.  I am only only finding instructions to move information to a CD.  Will a DVD work?  I would rather use DVD because of larger amount of storage space.

    Thank You

      Do you have a DVD drive on your computer? If you do then you could save to a DVD. CDs can hold around 700 MB of data. If you don't need more than that then you can save everything on one CD. I don't know what the capacity of a DVD is but I know it is very great. If you want to upgrade to Vista you need a DVD drive because the install disc is a DVD-ROM. I recently upgraded to a DVD drive because I wanted to upgrade to Vista.

      He said he wants to copy contents from cassette to disk. That sounds like ripping to me.

        Superdave,

        If this is something illegal, then I wont do it.  I did purchase the cassets many years ago and want to be able to play them using a DVD.  I got the information from the Kim Komando site. Maybe I don't understand ripping, please explain.

        Let me know if this is illegal.

        Thanks
