For Learners.......2007-01-31

This information is very helpful and especially understandable. My only problem with is was that there is too much information and sometimes that causes confusion

Clear and easy to learn about the new world........2006-11-05

I am not a beginner, yet the new CD and DVD Recording issues have become part of my world. I am thrilled with the opportunities it presents to Dummies like me. So when selecting something easy, I thought the Dummy books were right up my alley. I was right. This book talks in a down to earth style that doesn't intimidate me. It makes me think I'm not such a dummy after all. Now when I purchase DVD Plus and Minus R and RW I have a better idea what to buy.

IT WAS A GOOD INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR THE GENERAL AREA OF CD AND DVD RECORDING.

How Not to Deal with Controversy.......2006-03-04

True, there are many controversies raging about copying DVDs and copyrights. I suspect we are in a transition zone with all this and "the industry" will figure out how to help people love and cherish their DVDs rather than simply calling everyone a pirate. Having said that, I can also understand why an author of such a book wouldn't want to "say too much" about this controversy, especially if he his looking over his shoulder at "the lawyers." I was trying to think of an analogy to express my disapointment in this book (and this isn't a good one) but it goes like this: You want to go to Israel and you buy a book on "Israel for Dummies" and you search for something, anything on the controversy of the wall they are building. But instead of finding a discussion of the controversy you find a few off-handed quips about "There's a wall going up and it's causing some controversy. 'Nuff said."
"'Nuff said"? Hel-lo? Were dummies out here, that's why we bought the dumb book!
There might be some useful information for some people, but I was sorely disappointed.

CD and DVD Recording for Dummies.......2005-09-16

I purchased the book in order to help with a presentation I was doing to my not so computer literate co-workers. I found the book helpful in assisting me to put certain focal items in lay person's terms, and some additional information to help keep my presentation interesting. I am glad I purchased it. Warning, if you are a computer guru, stay clear, not for the advanced at heart.
