Default Will it fit/work?

I just gotmy newcomputer and it has a dvd writer. i want to burn some dvds but dont quite know if it is the same process as an audio cd. I have both a dvd rom and a dvd writer. Will a full length dvd movie fit on one of these? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1051384654956

It should, just make sure that the drive can do DVD+R (It should be able to, but check just in case).

Depends. If it's a DVD5, then yes. If it's a DVD9 then you will need to compress it w/ a program like DVD Shrink.

Why DVD+R?

Because the disks he wants to buy are DVD+R

I don't know about the Fuji's but I would recommend the Verbatim brand.

Both have the MCC media code. Good discs.

Default Yup

Go the Verbatim way. The MCC atip is really good from my experience. Never had a coaster yet.
