Thread: How to burn?

I have a lot of movies on my hard disk and I want to burn them on DVDs. Suggest me an easy-to-use burning program that can convert every video format to the VOB format so I can play them on my DVD player.

I have images of a few operating systems. I don't know how to create a bootable disk. Kindly help me with the complete process of how to create a bootable CD/DVD so that I can install them on my system.

It's difficult to find a single program that can convert every format to VOB. You might have to use a combination of programs. Check out Media Coder sites. Convert the videos you want to AVIs using the Xvid codec. Use Nero after that or any other popular DVD burning program to write the AVI as a video DVD.

Disk images of operating systems such as Linux distributions are bootable images. You can simply burn them to the disk. Don't burn them as a file on the disk, but as a disk image. For example, in Nero Burning ROM, click on Recorder > Burn Image. Choose the image file, set a speed for writing and burn the disk. To be able to boot from the CD or DVD, you'll have to set your optical drive as the primary boot drive from the BIOS.
