I am concerned that if it is stored on the computer in an ISO format
there may come a time when that format is no longer supported
by the computer's OS and programs. Then I would be unable to make the DVD.

If I use Windows Explorer and just copy the files to a folder on
my computer, how would I make a DVD that will play on a
DVD player?

I did copy one to a disk using Windows Explorer.
It plays on the computer, but not on the DVD player. The original
does play on it.

Thanks, CB
