Burn a DVD

WHAT IS IT ?

  • There are plenty of ways to burn a CD or DVD.

  • We can use inbuilt burning software of Windows 7 onward or third party burning software.

  • It depends what types of DVD you want to make such as:

  • Video DVD (Auto play)

  • Music DVD (Auto play)

  • Data DVD

  • ISO & Other Disc Images

 Video DVD:

  • Burning any kind of visual media to a CD lets you view it in a slideshow or video format.

  • We can burn with inbuilt software.

  • Or we can make more customizable content with burning software like: Nero Burning ROM, Express Burn Disc, Ashamoo Burning Studio.

Music DVD:

  • Burning music to a CD lets you listen to the music by inserting the CD into a stereo or other audio item.

  • If you want to use your CD to autoplay its content (e.g., music), you can't put more than one file type on the CD (for example, a music CD can't have text files or an ISO on it).

Data DVD:

  • Burning music to a CD lets you listen to the music by inserting the CD into a stereo or other audio item.

  • We can use a USB disk.

  • Just put the content.

  • Use those data on another computer.

  • It should be not autoplay.

  • Insert blank DVD disk > double click on it > choose Like a USB flash drive.

  • You can put the data into the DVD disc and use.

  • Here it allows you to erase the data multiple time, if you saved as "Like a USB flash drive."

ISO & Other Disk Images

  • ISO - An ISO file allows a program, such as an operating system installer, to run on a computer when the CD is inserted.

  • We can make bootable DVD with ISO file.

Create Bootable DVD

  • Get the ISO file of any operating system.

  • Here we have windows xp ISO file.

  • Disc image files are exact copies of a DVD or CD that need to be burned to a blank disc before thy can be used. 

  • This will turn the disc into a copy of the original. 

  • Other disc image formats include CDR, BIN/CUE, DMG, CDI, and NRG.
