Creating a DVD from a Video File on Your Computer

The following instructions are to enable you to take a video file form your computer and make it into a DVD that can be played on other computers or standard DVD players.

Requirements:

• A computer with a DVD drive (An external DVD drive connected via USB will be suitable if your computer does not have an internal one).
• Application called "Burn". This is available from Self Service for Mac Users.
• The original video file and a blank DVD-R or DVD-RW

Steps:

1. Launch Burn on your computer.
2. Drag your movie file into the Burn window.
   1. It may prompt you to convert the file format. This is because Burn requires the file to be in .mpg format for burning to disc. Allow it to convert and select a place to save the converted file.
3. Once the file is converted, it should be visible in the burn window.
4. Use the textbox at the top of the window to name your DVD what you like.
5. Insert a blank DVD to your drive.
6. Click Burn in the bottom right of the window
7. Leave the default setting and click burn on the popup window.
8. Once complete, your DVD is able to be played in a standard DVD player.
