How to Burn Files to a DVD to View in a Stand Alone DVD Player
The only way you can view self made content on a stand alone DVD player(a DVD player that plugs into a television) is if the DVD has video content burned into it. All DVD burning programs possess the ability to burn a video DVD format disc. Once created and inserted into the DVD player the video contents can be displayed on the connected television screen.

Insert a blank DVD into the DVD burner on your computer and launch the DVD burning software installed on the system. If there is a DVD burner on the computer you have a specially designed program to create DVDs. Some of the most popular are Roxio, AVS Disc Creater and Nero. All three programs perform in an extremely similar way.
