If it's a stand-alone unit, why do I need the USB and Nero software? What does it do?

Thank you for your question, we offer the Nero for your computer that works as your burning software is only a free item it does not affect any duplicator process with this machine. The USB is provided as a free item so that when you have a computer without a burner this USB can hookup to the bottom drive and that drive will act as an external burner for your computer.

Hi, it's stand alone. No computer was necessary. I made my dvd using an apple computer and burned the disc. Once I had the original dvd, you just place it in the top drive, insert blank dvds in the other drives and basically just press a button. They have one setting where you can copy and it confirms that its a good copy. Love it!I didn't use the software, but I believe it's a program so you can burn your dvds. You cannot copy a licensed copy though.

Based on what I read, you need to install the Nero software that was supplied with the TV. I bought the TV today itself, and I havent tried this option yet.-C.

Yes, software comes with the unit. It works great; not a single problem with it.

yeh it does,comes with a lot of stuff, nero dvd creator, adobe, there's a pdf writer, and a whole bunch of stuff that i don't really use.might be better if you want to ask for a specific program that you might be hoping is installed? then I can tell you whether it is there or not.

It's plug and play as a device so you don't need special software. You just use it with whatever software you use to record

Mine works just like the one in my computer, just plug in USB and computer assigns it a drive and just play - record, burn, etc. My DVD RW had gone out on my computer, but now it's fixed so have two burners now. When portable player is plugged in and you want to burn something, like at itunes, you are prompted to select which burner. I was just stunned at how well it works, just like the one built into computer. But be careful with the software that comes with it, for it is just promotional - NOT needed to operate the unit. It will instruct you to put in disc to install. P.S. The portable floppy 3.5 works great as well if you have old stuff still stored on floppies.

That is true. It is not a stand alone unit - it must be connected to a computer in order to retrieve docs/pics. Hope that helps.

1) You must use an external DVD drive. There are many on the market including some portable USB-powered ones. 2) Yes. I hope this helps you in making your decision.

You really only need that if you get the one with the USB connection to use it as an external burner connected to your computer.

No it does not. You don't need any software as you are only connecting devices as external drives. It works like a charm!

I use the dvdr- with this system because they worked better. I tried the dvdr+ and I had problems.This system does not include a USB cord.

go to Best Buy and purchase pinnacle connector. It is a white device with a USB on one end and a RCA / s cable connector on the other. You will also need software. I prefer Nero however pinnacle also has their own software.

This is just a hardware connector to plug your HDD to a USB port. So whatever else you want to do with the contents of the drive will have to be software driven.

I am not quite sure how to answer this question, so I will answer it as best as I can as related to this device.This device is able to install software to your computer via CD/DVD. There isn't any software to download to operate this device as it is plug and play on my Windows 7 machine. This device should also let you burn to disc as long as you have the software to do so.
