Burn MP4 to DVD - how it works

This guide explains how you can burn an MP4 file to DVD. You can then play the video file on a DVD player.

How to burn an MP4 file to DVD

To be able to burn an MP4 file to DVD, you must first convert it. You can do this with a special converter, such as the Any Video Converter. The easiest way is to use Nero, because Nero automatically converts the file during the burning process.

• Also make sure to burn the DVD as a video, not a data DVD.
• If you are not using a program that automatically converts the file, you must convert the MP4 file to an MPEG-2 file yourself using your converter.
• If you don't have software like Nero, you can also use a free program, for example the Free Video to DVD Converter. Similar to Nero, this program also converts the file automatically.
