How Do You Burn a DVD With a DVD Writer?

If your computer came with a DVD writer pre-installed, you have the ability to burn data to a DVD from the first time you start up your machine. The Windows operating system includes native CD and DVD burning functionality that is built directly into Windows Explorer. All you have to do is put a blank DVD into your burner and then provide Windows Explorer with a list of the files you want to write to the disc.
