A video to burn: Whether it’s your own home movies, or a movie you ripped from your own collection, you’ll need a video file (or multiple videos) to burn to your disc. The total size of all the videos you put on the disc must be no higher than 4.7GB (for single layer discs) or 8.5GB (for dual layer discs).

Once again, make sure your DVD drive supports dual layer burning before buying those discs. If you can get away with single layer, we recommend it as dual layer discs can occasionally create problems during the burning process, but both should work. Single layer discs can store 4.7GB, and dual-layer discs can store 8.5GB. Additionally, you can buy what’s known as dual layer discs if your movies are really big. If it only supports one, but not the other, buy the DVDs that are compatible with your drive.

However, if you have an older DVD burner, check to see whether it supports DVD+R or DVD-R.

A blank DVD: Blank DVDs are pretty cheap, and are even cheaper per disc in spindles. You’ll see two types of blank discs: DVD+R and DVD-R. These two formats are almost identical and almost every drive sold today supports both, so it probably won’t matter which one you get.

Internal DVD burner drives can cost as little as $20, and external burners are usually only $5-10 more.

A DVD burner drive: Most computers that come with any kind of optical drive anymore can probably burn DVDs, but if you don’t already have one, you’ll need to buy a DVD burner.

To burn your own videos to a DVD, you’ll need a few things to get started:
