just a couple of quick notes...
DVD shrink will not burn a DVDR... it uses an external burning program, like Nero to burn to the DVD. So you will also need another program to burn to disk.
Also, if you're planning on copying something that isn't a Region 0 (all region) you're gonna need something to remove the Region coding... like Any DVD, in order to copy it or all you'll get is an error message saying it is copy protected.
CloneDVD is a good copy program, it uses its own program to burn DVDR's... however, it won't copy a dual layer disk... hence the need for DVD Shrink and Nero.
Most programs put the files on your hard drive, unless you have 2 drives, one to read from like a DVD reader or another burner drive and one to write out to, if you don't want to have to change disks in the middle of burning.
The +R -R is the format of disks that your burner uses... unless you get one that does both formats (last one we tried, used it once and it quit working) your drive will only be able to use one or the other... so make sure you know which one your drive is before you spend lots of money on blank dvdr's.
