Okay, it's getting near the time to get a new machine. The thing is, I want a machine that can burn DVD movies that I can watch on most DVD players.

My iMac has a DVD-RW drive and works quite well a tth etask of creating DVDs that I can play on a regular DVD player. I have a ton of movies of my kids and I want to make DVDs of them.

I generally just buy Dell machines these days. Mainly because they are quieter and cost okay. I used to build my own machines but I really don't have the time for that these days. But the Dell machines only come with DVD+RW which I've read aren't as compatbile with regular DVD players at playing movies. Is that true?

Anyway, any suggestions?
