how do I copy a disc?
Once you have your original home videos or photos on disc, you can make
copies to send to your family and friends. You can also copy discs containing
data to make backup copies. The procedure is the same no matter what type of
disc you’re copying. You use the HP RecordNow software.
Please note that HP RecordNow cannot copy content-protected DVDs.
