How do I put my AVI files onto DVD to watch on TV?

Question

I have a Sony Vaio desktop PC, a Sony Handycam MiniDV camera. I have taken the video from the cassette onto my hard drive. I now want to put them onto a DVD so I can watch them on my TV through my DVD player. My PC will not allow me to do it. If I drag and drop the file onto the DVD I cannot play it. Please help.

Answer 1

You need to import your videos into Windows movie maker(WMM). This program allows you to produce and edit videos. I have a tutorial for you in the source below on how to use WMM.

Secondly, you are going to need a a DVD burning program to burn your movie file onto a DVD. The second link is a tutorial on everything you need to know about burning DVD's.
