Creating your DVD with other DVD recording software

Since there are so many different DVD burning software packages out there, we are not going to go into specific detail about each one. Instead we'll create a list of the basic steps to follow with any DVD recording software in order to create your video DVD.

Step 1: Create a new 'DVD-Video' disk.

Step 2: In the window where you select which files to burn to your DVD, highlight all the .IFO, .VOB and .BUP files and place them in the VIDEO_TS directory of the DVD.

Step 3: Burn the DVD. If necessary, specify no multi-session. Enjoy your movie.

As I'm sure you've realized, using commercial DVD creation products is easier and more flexible, but there is something quite satisfying about creating a DVD yourself from scratch. With DVD blanks being so cheap now, you can afford to try out both methods and see which works better for your home videos.

We hope that you have enjoyed converting your video clips into DVDs with one or more of these methods, and maybe learned a little bit in the process. Check out the rest of PCstats Beginner's Guides for more projects.
