How to Burn a DVD Using a VLC
- 1). Convert the video file into an accepted format. VLC will burn DVDs but will not convert video files into a DVD format. A third-party software like Nero, Adobe Encore or Sony's Media Center Suite will have to handle the conversion. There is also no native Windows or Mac software that will do this. DVDs must be encoded in either PAL (Europe) or NTSC (North America) format.
- 2). Open VLC. Select "Options" and enter the name of the DVD video. Select "Add" and use the explorer window to find the converted DVD file. Double-click it to import it to VLC. Select "Hive" as a plug-in. This will create an ISO image that can be read by DVD players.
- 3). Launch the "CDBurner" plug-in and select "New Compilation." Click on the option "Burn an ISO Image." Select the "Write Disc From ISO File" in the upper left corner of the window and browse for the video file using the navigator. The default destination is "c:\program files\DVD Hive\ISO." Select the writing speed. This should be equal to the write speed of the burner. Insert a blank DVD and click "Write Disc."
