Insert a blank DVD into your computer's disc drive. After you do this, wait for the blank DVD to load. There will be a message that changes from "Insert Blank Disc" to "No Items Found on Disc." This means the DVD is prepared and ready to start the burning process. Select the write speed you would like the DVD burner to operate. This can be changed from "8x," "16x," or "24x." The lower speed will take longer to burn but will produce a better quality disc. Click the "Burn" button and wait for the process to complete. This process can take up to one hour to finish.
