How do i make a DVD video?

Question

I have the files. I just want to know how to copy them to a DVD disc in such a way that a DVD player will recognize the disc as a video disc and play the video. I also want to know what resolution the video file should be at in order to look good on a bigger screen . . .

Answer 1

If you want to burn videos or music on a disk, you can't simply copy them on the disc, or the DVD player will not play them. So, you need a DVD Author software, I have been using Cucusoft DVD/VCD/SVCD Creator Pro

You could free download and try it at

Answer 2

Cucusoft Video to DVD Creator is a good choice. It converts popular video formats such as AVI, MPEG, WMV, DivX, DV, VOB to DVD and burn DVD movie played on portable or home DVD player. Any video to to VCD/DVD/SVCD is even faster than real-time.

Unbiased reviews and side-by-side comparisons of the DVD creator give you enough information to research the ins and outs of a particular product:

Answer 3

You'll probably need a DVD authoring program if your editing program doesn't allow for making DVDs.  I use DVD Pro from Apple, but this is a very high-end program and I don't know what lower end programs are available.  I did a google search and found something like this:  http://www.keronsoft.com/dvdbuilder.html  Looks like it's free.
