Question by Kylie<3: Windows 7: How do you burn a DVD?
I had someone in my family make me a copy of a home movie on a DVD and my cousin is wanting a copy. My new tower says it’ll burn DVD’s, but I don’t know how. I’ve never made one before. I’ve heard that you have to download a certain kind of software before you can. Can someone please explain to me how you burn a DVD? What all do I have to do? Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks!

To burn a DVD in Windows 7 you must follow the steps listed below…

Step 1
Insert DVD/CD into tray. You have the option of using the disc like a USB flash drive or to burn files to the disc that can’t be edited once the writing is complete.

Step 2
Select “With a CD/DVD player to burn a DVD/CD disc.”

Step 3
Click “Next” and you now have the ability to drag and drop files onto the disc. As you start dropping files onto the DVD, a message appears that you have files waiting to be burned to a disc.

Step 4
Click “Burn to disc” when you are ready to make your DVD/CD. Enter the disc title and click “Next.” The wizard begins to burn the disc and provides you with a progress indicator. Click “Finish” and the disc ejects when the process reaches 100 percent.
