How can I turn my downloaded movies into DVDs

If you have a collection of your favorite movies that you have downloaded from the internet I’m sure they take up a lot of space in your hard drive. Burning them into DVDs will not only help you free up some space but will also allow you to play them in your home DVD player or take them with you when you travel, so that you will always have some entertainment with you. This tutorial will guide you with the basics on how to burn your downloaded movies into DVDs.

Burning Requirements

  • DVD burner/writer
  • Blank DVD – choosing the right media is one of the factors that contribute to a successful DVD burning.
  • DVD Burning Software – for this tutorial we highly recommend using VSO convertXtoDVD software because of its capabilities to convert and burn multiple movie formats into DVD, it is easy to use and has a lot of advanced options.

Step 1: Open convertXtoDVD program. The default settings are set for most of what needs to be configured during the installation.

Step 2: Add the movie you want to convert and burn. Click on the green button on the upper right corner.

Browse to the folder where you have saved your movies. Make sure that the drop box for “Files of type” is set to “All supported files” to ensure that only the files that convertXtoDVD can handle are shown. Select or highlight the file you want to add and then click the Open button.

Step 3: Choose the type of playback you desire for your DVD. Double click on DVD Options or click on the “+” to expand DVD options.

Auto-start Playback – check this option if you wish to skip the menu and play the title immediately
Loop Playback – this is option will let your DVD play the first title again after the last title finishes playing
Play titles one after the other – this will play the titles one after the other without going back to the menu

Step 4: Customize the background and the title by double clicking on the Title Menu parameters. To change any settings, just double click on the desired parameter.

After making any changes, click on the preview button.

Step 5: Click on the convert button to start the conversion process. Make sure you already have a blank DVD in your drive before starting the conversion process.

After the conversion process, convertXtoDVD will automatically detect the DVD media you have inserted in your drive and will automatically start the burning process in 10 seconds so there’s no need to click on the Burn button.

When the burning process is done click on the OK button to complete the process and the DVD will automatically eject. If you wish to burn another movie repeat step 2 to step 5.
