How to burn a DVD disc for a DVD player in Windows 7

Before I tell (write) how to burn a DVD disc for a DVD player, I want to emphasize that there are many ways.

I will give here those that I like, although many computer users use others. I will also write about them, but not in detail.

Before you start recording a DVD disc for your player, please read the information below. You can copy any files, including movies, clips, and the like, to a blank DVD on your computer.

This can be done by simply dragging and dropping, but a DVD player connected to the TV will not be able to play them, it needs a different format.

Also keep in mind that DVD players are different: some can play many formats, others only the most popular.

However, any file can be converted, use .

I think now everything has become clear, the usual way to burn a disc for a DVD player, it won’t work, you need special software. Read which one below:
