    So far, I've loaded pictures from a CD to my netbook and played music CD's. I haven't tried playing a DVD, but I'm sure it will work as well.

    I found the DVD writer easy to use. I had a problem with connectivity on my previous recorder. So to basically plug in and play was really great.

    It works for the bare basics of dvd writing and what not. I was hoping to be able to play movies on my computer but it does not do that only when I plug it into my tv will it play dvd's. I primarily wanted it for watching movies on my computer but for as cheap as it was I cannot complain too much.
