Burning DVDs?

I'm looking to burn some DVD data discs - they will be filled with pictures from an earlier project. I have a DVD burner that burns +R and -R discs. I'm trying to figure out what software to use.

Or is it possible to use windows, but I need a new driver or something?

    Odd, I've never had an issue with it.

    Try the latest version? Perhaps the one you have is geared for CDs? Who knows.
