How to Burn a DVD From BitTorrent Files

BitTorrent is a popular software platform that enables users to download large files such as DVD rips from the Internet. Once downloaded the file is only viewable on the computer. To watch the BitTorrent file on the TV a user needs to transfer the file to a DVD.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

1. Download a shareware software package that transfers the BitTorrent files to DVD. The software in use for this example is DVD Flick, which is free and also easy to use.
2. Install DVD Flick software on the computer. Once the download is finished, double click on the downloaded file. Follow instructions on screen to set up the software.
3. Configure the DVD burning project settings in DVD Flick. Open the DVD flick software and click the "Project settings" button. Make sure the default project is correct and will fit on the blank DVD. The default is usually fine but sometimes a specialized DVD can alter the size requirements.
4. Identify the downloaded file to burn to DVD. This file must be a video file. The following are the common file extensions for video files .avi, .mpg, .mov and .wmv.
5. Check the video format settings. Click on the "Video tab" and check format of the DVD settings. If the user is in the US, the setting needs to be NTSC or if the user is in Europe or Asia, the setting needs to be PAL.
6. Add the file or files to the DVD. The simplest method is to open the folder that holds the downloaded files. Then drag and drop the files into the DVD flick software. Be sure to monitor the space left indicator in DVD flick. The amount of space taken up on the DVD will depend on the quality and type of video file.
7. Create chapters on the DVD as necessary. Some users like to divide the DVDs up into chapters for easy access to certain section of the video. To add chapters select the video and click "edit title". Then change the method of chapter creation to desired length. This step is optional.
8. Click on "Create DVD" in the DVD Flick software. Make sure there is enough space on the hard drive. Typically, four gigabytes is sufficient. Even though a user is burning to a disk, the data is temporarily stored on the hard drive before the transformation is complete.
9. Play the DVD on the TV to make sure the process was successful.
