How do I burn a dvd movie using windows 10? (PLEASE read description before answering)

Burning a DVD movie on Windows 10 involves a few steps, and you can use either built-in tools or third-party software. Here's a guide on how to do it:

Using Built-in Tools (Data DVD)

Windows 10 includes tools like Windows Media Player and File Explorer for burning DVDs. However, these tools are limited in creating playable video DVDs that can be played on standard DVD players. They are better suited for creating data DVDs.

Steps with Windows Media Player:

1. Open Windows Media Player.
2. Insert a blank DVD into your DVD drive.
3. Drag and drop your video files into the Burn List.
4. Choose Data CD or DVD as the burn option.
5. Start the burn process.

However, this method will not create a video DVD that can be played on a standard DVD player.

Steps with File Explorer:

1. Insert a blank DVD into your DVD drive.
2. Open File Explorer, navigate to "This PC," and double-click on the DVD drive.
3. Choose "With a CD/DVD player" when prompted.
4. Drag and drop files into the DVD drive window.
5. Click "Finish burning" and follow the prompts.

Again, this method is for data DVDs, not playable video DVDs.

Using Third-Party Software

For creating playable video DVDs with menus and chapters, you'll need third-party software.

Steps with DVDFab DVD Creator:

1. Download and install DVDFab DVD Creator.
2. Launch DVDFab DVD Creator and select the DVD Creator module.
3. Add your video files by clicking the "Add" button or dragging and dropping them.
4. Customize your DVD menu and settings.
5. Insert a blank DVD and click "Start" to begin burning.

Steps with VideoByte DVD Creator:

1. Download and install VideoByte DVD Creator.
2. Launch VideoByte DVD Creator and add your video files.
3. Customize the DVD menu and settings.
4. Insert a blank DVD and click "Burn" to start the process.

Steps with WinX DVD Author:

1. Download and install WinX DVD Author.
2. Launch WinX DVD Author and click "Video DVD Author."
3. Add your video files.
4. Customize settings like chapter menus and subtitles.
5. Insert a blank DVD and start the burn process.

These third-party tools allow you to create video DVDs that can be played on standard DVD players.
