i am getting a dvd burner and a 52x if i have heard correctly you cannot even read dvds wit a cd burner so will i still be able two make backup cd"S without having to download it into my computer first then to a dvd

It depends what model/type of bunrer you get. You can get a combo drive which burns cdr's and dvdr's and also reads both. But if you only get a cdr burner it will only be able to read cd's. If you get only a dvdr then you can play cd's and dvd's and only burn dvd's. But most dvd burners on the market have cd'r built in.

???? why would you want to back up a cd to a dvd? why not cd to a cd-r?

but the answer is yes, you will be able to do cd to dvd. But will not be able to use the 52x (unless it's a DVD-ROM/CDRW Combo) to read DVDs.

most dvd burners cant properly handle cds (read the CD/DVD 101)

Although its not possible without some "alterations" some people want to have all their things on one DVD than a few CDs

but the answer is yes, you will be able to do cd to dvd. But will not be able to use the 52x (unless it's a DVD-ROM/CDRW Combo) to read DVDs.

Of course if yer dealing with copy protection that may be a bit difficult to translate from the CD version to the DVD version

While you dont have to, its ideal
