there's no minimum requirement to actually install and use the burner, but the problem becomes whether or not the burner will be supplied with data at a fast enough rate so as not to cause buffer underruns (which aren't fatal, but will slow down the recording process). your sister's computer is likely fast enough.

lots of hard disk space is a nice addition to dvd burning altho not huge amounts i would say at least 20gb MINIMUM spare for breathing space and for messing about before compression :)

and from experience i WOULD ADVISE windows 2000 or windows XP formatted to NTFS file structure as it can handle file sizes over 4gb :)

What speed of P-III are we talking about - they cover a pretty wide range.

As for transfer rate limitations, 1x DVD is approximately 9.5x CD, so if a system could comfortably handle a 48x CD Writer to full speed, it should be ok with 4x DVD ... I wouldn't bother going for 8x media, even if was an 8x drive.

I've burned lots of DVD's at 4X on a PIII800 with 512MB RAM, yours should be fine too. Just have the HD defragged and have at least 9 GB of empty space- else you will have to record to an image first.

It's good enough! My system is Celeron 333MHz, 128MB SDRAM, 2 HDDs of 30MB, DVDR 107D and LiteOn DVD drive. OS: WinsME, software to copy DVDs: DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink, DVDFab, and Nero.

PS. Of course, time for re-authoring and backup a DVD9 to DVD5 is....:-(
