Thread: How the heck do I burn a DVD?

OK so I want to burn some video files and mp3s on a DVD but I don't really know how.

Or is it possible to burn video files on a CD-R and play it on a DVD? (highly doubt it)


Thanks!

There are quite a few ways to make a DVD. If you have Vista, you can just pop in a blank DVD in your burner and it will ask you what you want to do with it - one of the options is burn a disk.

If you have XP, you can download DeepBurner (http://www.deepburner.com) or some other DVD burning software. You normally can either use a wizard or create a new DVD from the menus.

Actually you can burn a movie to a CDR and play it as long as the DVD player supports the codec. DIVX normally works for that, for example. Obviously, most films are bigger than the capacity of a CD though, without compression.

Hope that helps a little.
