The www.DVDRHelp.com site is probably your best resource in helping you
figure it all out.

I've used so few of the options that it's hard to make recommendations....
the pages of my site in the CD and DVD burning areas have posts about the
products that different people have use, along with links to various
websites.

The people I know rate the Sonic and ULead brands pretty highly.

message that comes back is that the PC cannot access the correct codec and
suggests that I adjust my security settings. I have adjusted my security
settings and still no luck.

DVD player but I need to get mine to DVD and then copy it to VHS format. I
have also had a look at the Sonic website and agree that it appears I have
been sold the incorrect software. The Nero webiste - is there any downloads
there that I can use perhaps?
