How to Record a Video on a CD
If you want to back up a video from your computer and you don't have a DVD player, you may opt for recording the video content on a CD. Although a CD can't hold nearly as much information as a DVD, it is still an inexpensive way to store important information. It is especially important to backup videos onto a CD to prevent any data loss in the event of a hard drive failure in the future.
