I have just purchased a new computer, with a combo CD/DVD drive. I have also purchased Roxio Easy CD-R/DVD software. My question is, since I have been hearing stories about downloading movies to the computer, and then burning them to DVD, such as code incompatability, how can I determine whether or not my dvd will play on a DVD player, and what type of discs should I purchase to increase the likelihood of playable dvds? I plan to use WinMx and Kazaa to copy files.

Is the drive actually a DVD burner, or a CD-RW burner with DVD playback capability?

Typically, a "Combo" drive is a CD-RW burner and DVD player drive.

If it is a DVD burner, you are limited to the type of disks that the drive supports:
DVD-
DVD+

As a side note:
ANY movie or music that you get from Kazaa is most likely an ILLEGAL copy.
The user posting the content had no right in posting it, and you have no right in using it.

Kazaa also installs a number of ad-ware and spy-ware programs on your PC.

The US movie and record industries are working hard to get legal permission to access ANY PC that has ANY file sharing software installed on it!
