Many people use torrents to download full length movies off the Internet. You may want to take the movie file you have downloaded and put it onto a DVD to be able to play it on a television. You can do this with free downloadable software.

Step 1

Open Windows Media Player. If you simply want to burn the movie file onto a DVD for storage, you can do so with Windows Media Player. In the upper-right corner of Windows Media Player, click "Burn." On the right side you will see "Drag items here." Select and then drag your downloaded movie file into the list and click "Start Burn." If you want to burn your movie file so that it will play in a DVD player, begin at Step 2.
