That program will change the MPEG file(s) into files that make up DVDs (VOB, BUP and IFO files). Once encoded (you can encode up to 4.7 GBs of data on one DVD, up to 8 hours) you will need a program to burn it to DVD, I use Nero Burning ROM. When you open the program, it will ask you what format, choose DVD-Video. At that point you basically drag and drop the files created from the DVD Author into the Video_TS folder in the left part of the Nero window and then you can burn the DVD. I would recommend burning at the lowest possible speed to minimize errors. Hopefully that about covers it.
thanks for the info, I'll give it a go.
