How to Burn DVDs from Limewire for Home Use
Limewire is a peer-to-peer file-sharing service that allows users to share any files they have stored on their computers. If you have downloaded a video clip from the Limewire network, you may want to watch the movie on your regular DVD player instead of through your computer's monitor. You can take advantage of the built-in DVD burning software included with your operating system to burn the video to a DVD for home use.

Tips & Warnings
The exact options you need to click to burn a DVD may vary if you have an operating system other than Windows Vista. You can also use a third-party DVD burning program if your operating system does not include a built-in DVD burning feature (see Resources).
Burning copyrighted movie files to a DVD is illegal, even if you only use the DVD for personal use. Make sure that any video clips you are burning are not copyright-protected, or you could be charged with a crime. Files on Limewire are not guaranteed to be free of spyware or virus programs. Always scan any file you download from Limewire with your antivirus tool before opening it.
