Conor,

Though I'm seriously unimpressed with Vista in it's present state - it's work in progress as far as I am concerned - I can't conceive of a reason why any modern DVD burner wouldn't work under Vista (nor an old one, actually).

The key thing, of course, is whether the supplied DVD-burning software is compatible with Vista - unless you're intending to use some other package.

Assuming that the product still comes with the Nero suite, you're starting point for checking Vista-compatibility is here:
