Although DVD burners have been around for a while, they are finally starting to gain popularity because of rapidly declining prices.
What a lot of people don't realize though is that burning a DVD isn't quite as simple or reliable of a process as burning a CD. In this article, I will explain why DVD burning can be problematic, and I will give you some tips to maximize your chances of a successful burn. The first consideration that you need to make when preparing to burn a DVD is the media that you are using. Today, many DVD burners support all four of these formats.
Even so, it is important to check to see exactly which formats your burner supports and to buy media that supports the same format as your drive. When you shop for DVD media, you should also make sure that you buy good quality media that is rated for the appropriate speed. I've never been one of these people who like to shop for fancy brand names, but when you shop for blank DVD media, brands make a huge difference. Purchasing blank media made by a reputable manufacturer rather than going for the bargain basement specials greatly increases your chances of success.
When purchasing blank DVDs, you should also check the rated maximum burn speed. It's OK if a disc is rated for a higher speed than what your drive will support, but you don't want to buy discs that are rated at a slower speed than your drive.
Some DVD authoring software will allow you to slow down your burner to the speed that the media is rated for, but it's usually better just to buy media that's rated for the higher speeds. Higher speed media is almost always of a higher quality than lower speed media. The non pitted areas of a DVD's surface are called lands. If the laser strikes a land, then the reflective surface causes the laser beam to bounce back and the player treats that spot on the DVD as a binary 1.
If, on the other hand, the laser strikes a pit, then the beam is not reflected, and the result is a binary 0. So what does this have to do with the way that the disc is handled? We've all seen CDs that don't play well because they are dirty. Dirt, finger prints, and scratches can cause lands to not reflect light well enough to be read correctly. Extreme smudges or scratches can also scatter the laser beam. This is usually only a problem for CDs in extreme cases, but you have to remember that DVDs hold a lot more information than a CD, but do so in the same amount of physical space.
This means that the pits and lands have to be even smaller than the microscopic ones found on a CD.

Freemake Video Converter is one example of a free application that can burn those kinds of video files directly to a DVD, and many others exist too. You also need to have a DVD burner attached to the computer for it to work. If you bought your DVD player within the past couple of years, you should be able to use it to play DVDs burned on your home computer.
One thing that works for some people and depends on the DVD player you have, is to burn the DVD using an older format that the player does support. There are some DVD burning programs that support this but others do not. Avoid those stick-on DVD labels!
Instead, use a permanent marker, inkjet printer, or a Lightscribe DVD writer to put titles and labels on the disc. Clean your DVD and see if it will play. To avoid scratches on your DVDs, make sure to always keep in a properly enclosed case or at the very least, put them down with the label facing down and the actual disc side facing up. The slower the burn, the more reliable the disc will be. If you suspect that this might be the cause, re-burn the DVD on a lower speed and see if that resolves the playback issue.
Sometimes you just get a bad result when you burn a DVD. It could be the disc, your computer, a speck of dust, etc. Learn how to avoid DVD burning errors. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data.
