If you have up-to-date DVD burning software, it should automate the DVD burning process for you. One of the best on the market is Nero. Nero contains everything you need to burn audio, video, and other computer files to CDs and DVDs. If you don’t have burning software that automates the process, it helps to understand a little about how a DVD movie works. The format of DVD video is MPEG-2. This differs from most other video on a computer, which is usually AVI, MPEG-1, or WMP. The contents of a DVD disc can be read and opened on a computer. If you open the disk, inside are two folders: VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. All the files of a DVD movie, audio and video, are in the VIDEO_TS folder. The AUDIO_TS folder is for DVD music discs, which never really caught on, but hard-coded formatting still insists on the presence of both folders.
Inside the VIDEO_TS folder are three sorts of files: BUP, IFO, and VOB. All the media is in the VOB files. The IFO files tell the DVD player how to navigate the VOB files, and the BUP files are just backups of the IFOs. If the movie or video you have is already in this three-file format, all you have to do is burn a disc with two folders named AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. All the files go inside the VIDEO_TS folder. If your movie or video is in another format, you will to convert it first. Several different programs are available to complete this process for you. Some of these programs are free, but the paid ones usually offer more functionality.
