How to Make DVDs on Mac and Windows with Easy Steps?

I often find myself needing to burn videos or movies to a DVD, whether it's to preserve special moments, share them with family, or simply watch without an internet connection. While streaming services are convenient, physical DVDs still offer reliable backup options. However, creating a DVD can feel overwhelming without the right tool. In this guide, I will show you how to easily make high-quality DVDs using a simple yet powerful tool, making the process quick and hassle-free.

Before you start creating a DVD, there are a few essential things you'll need to ensure the process goes smoothly.

How to Make a DVD with DVDFab DVD Creator

DVDFab DVD Creator is an excellent tool for anyone looking to make a DVD easily. It allows you to convert a variety of video formats and burn them to high-quality DVDs. With support for GPU acceleration, the software ensures the entire process more efficient. Additionally, DVDFab offers powerful customization features, including the ability to design personalized menus, and edit videos by trimming clips or adjusting the content to suit your preferences.

Step 1: Launch DVDFab software and Load Your Videos

Open DVDFab 13, select the Creator module, and choose "DVD Creator" from the top-left mode switcher. Then, add the videos you want to burn to a DVD or save as digital files. You can also drag and drop the videos into the main window.

Note: DVDFab allows you to burn multiple videos of different formats to one DVD simultaneously and arrange their playback order as desired. 

Step 2: Make a DVD Menu and Customize the Output Settings

Customize your DVD by choosing the desired audio tracks and subtitles. Click "Advanced Settings" to adjust the output settings, including selecting DVD-9/5, menu properties, and playback mode.

To create DVD menu, click the "Menu Settings" button and choose a template. You can then personalize the menu by editing text (font, size, color), moving elements, and changing the background image.

Then, you can use the "Video Edit" and "Trim" features to crop, rotate, flip, or trim your video. It also supports advanced editing features like adjusting brightness, applying filters, and adding watermarks to your video.

Step 3: Select a Directory and Start to Make Your DVD

Move to the bottom of the main interface to select an output directory. If you want to burn to a DVD, choose your optical drive from the drop-down list. To save as a DVD folder, click the Folder icon, or choose the Image icon for an ISO file.

Finally, click the "Start" button to burning videos to DVD. DVDFab's GPU acceleration technology ensures fast burning speeds. In my test, I converted a recorded MTS to DVD, and it only took about 16 minutes. The disc played perfectly on my DVD player.
