Default Burning video files onto dvds?

What programs do you guys use who copy/burn dvds. Also are most dvd drives compatible with DL disks? I'm trying to put some torrent movie files onto a dvd and have read several guides and downloaded a few programs, but it just seems like a pain in the *** and nothing ever works. there's gotta be an easier way.

Try this:

I haven't done it in a couple years so forgot what software I used.

I've gotten rid of all my DVDs and now just have three terabyte drives I keep video files on. Easier to stream than look for discs.

nice how do you stream to your tv's or are you just using it on one tv.

I like windows media center, but as usual it hick ups non stop especialy conecting to the xbox360

I alos have a dvd player that reads flash drives, easy plug and play

Well, I sold my TV, since I'm living with friends that already have TVs, and just use my 26" monitor. But, once I move in the next few months, I'll be streaming to a cheap HTPC.

been using convert x to dvd for a while.

pretty easy if you torrent an AVI file from the "poplular" uploaders.

2hr moving burns to dvd in about 20 mins, or less on my pc.
