how do i burn video clips to a dvd?

[bobbyc]

hi,
i am very new to the whole dvd burner thing. i am also very computer illeterate. But i have downloaded many short video clips (snowboarding bloopers) some of different formats that i would love to burn on to a dvd to watch through my regular television and i have no clue how i can do it. When i got this dvd burner i thought it would be as easy to use as a cd burner.....wow i was really wrong!!!!!!!!
also I downloaded a backup of a dvd that i alreday own, how wold i burn that to a dvd?
any help would be highly appreciated
thanks

If you already own the DVD, why download a backup, just rip it yourself, much easier and a lot less likley to get you flamed. We do not discuss warez here (anything illegal) and this is a little too close for comfort.

As for the other clips, start reading some of the guides here. Start with WHAT IS DVDr and learn what format and specifications you need the video to be in for it to be DVD compliant. Then go to the HOW TO section and under CONVERT are many guides you will find useful. Next comes AUTHORING and eventually burning.

When you run into problems, feel free to come back and ask questions. Making your questions as specific as possible and giving details on your source material and what you have done so far will help you get the answers you need.

Remember the forum rules though, discussion of warez is not allowed. Not sure what is meant by Warez? Read the Acceptable Use policy or look in the glossary.
