Many modern PCs are able to burn DVDs but these will not always play on a DVD player. If you have a personal video or slideshow that you want to watch on TV using a DVD player, you must use software that will create a DVD which launches automatically when inserted into a DVD player. Fortunately, such software is available, and you can decide which will work best for you by reviewing the brands and their costs.
Step 1
Insert a blank DVD-R or DVD+R into your DVD burner. Although DVD-R formats historically offered greater compatibility over DVD+R formats, that's not necessarily true for modern players or burners. To be safe, check the documentation for both your DVD burner and DVD player to ensure they support the chosen DVD format.
Step 2
Click "Burn a DVD Video Using Windows DVD Maker" from the AutoPlay window, or click "Start," "All Programs" and "Windows DVD Maker."
Step 3
Click "Choose Photos and Videos" in the Windows DVD Maker splash screen. This screen may not appear if you previously ran Windows DVD Maker. If you see the "Add Pictures and Videos to the DVD" window, skip this step.
Step 4
Click "Add Items" and double-click each video you wish to add.
Step 5
Click "Options."
Step 6
Click "Play Video and End With DVD Menu" or "Play Video in a Continuous Loop" from the DVD-Video tab and click "OK."
Step 7
Click "Next."
Step 8
Click "Menu Text," "Customize Menu" and "Menu Styles" to alter the appearance of the menu. If you chose the video loop option, there will be no menu, so you do not need to alter menu settings.
Step 9
Click "Burn" to create the DVD.
Tips and Warnings
Use DVD +/- RW discs because you can erase the content and use the DVD over again.
