How To: Burn a CD/DVD & Play it on ANY DVD Player (Mac)

If you're tech savvy and anyone has ever asked you to do something you know how to do, you accept without thinking twice. But what happens if something out of the ordinary happens? You suddenly feel this massive bolder fall flat down and you have to tell the person either you don't know how to do something that you previously defined as "light work". Anyways the point is I've been in this very position recently and didn't know how to go about it so today I'm going to show you guys "How To: Burn a CD/DVD & Play it on

Once again, just like 99% of my blog posts, they each have a video made for them so if you're not the reading type just scroll down and follow the step-by-step guide!

1) The first thing we will need is the software so click on this text here and another tab will open where you will have to wait for 5 seconds and then click on the bright yellow, "Skip Ad" button on the top right; afterwards it will redirect you to the software, Burn. 

2) Once you download and install the application, open it up and click on the Video tab on the top, after that you will have to change the VCD format to the DVD-Video format. 

3) Now this is probably the most important step in the whole process, and this is where most of you guys are most likely messing up. Don't just add the video and click burn, but go to Burn and preferences, click on the Video tab and change the region from PAL to NTSC. If you don't do this, the steps I'm showing you will most likely NOT work..so do it! (: 
4) Now it's time to import the media onto the actually application so if you have the file simply drag and drop it or click on the "+" sign on the bottom left and find your media that way. Upon doing so, a pop-up will come up telling you this is an incompatible fail. Don't flip out and close this page, it's suppose to happen, just click on convert now and choose where you want it to output the converted file, choose your desktop for easy access. Now just sit back and relax for the encoding to finish.

5) Afterwards, (wow I said that too many times) the file will appear on the application now you just have to name file and click burn!

**(Optional) Check out the video below if you want to add DVD Menus!

6) Clicking on burn will bring up a menu, just choose the drive where you want to burn it, most of us will only have one so just leave it as that. Now as for the speed, I would recommend 4x, and then click Burn and you're done!


Hopefully this helped you guys and if you're still confused just watch the video below and show it some love. (:
