How to Burn a DVD with VLC Media Player: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you looking for a reliable method to burn your favorite videos onto DVDs using VLC media player? If so, this article will guide you through the process step by step.

One possible explanation for playback problems when burning DVDs is that VLC reads non-copy-protected DVDs at max speed, and some DVD drives may not read burned discs well at max speed. However, if you use a 300 ms cache while playing your burnt media with VLC, you can test whether the outer-edge area plays fine. If it does, it could be a decent burn, as discs that skip very badly with VLC will still play fine on a DVD player.

To resolve skipping problems when playing burnt DVDs with VLC, you can try increasing the DVD playback cache value. For example, you can change the cache value from 300 ms to 8x300 ms = 2400 ms and see if it resolves the issue.

If you're experiencing playback problems near the outer edge of your burnt DVD-R/DVD+R discs with VLC media player, you're not alone. Some users have reported minor skipping at the very end of the disc even with high-quality media such as Taiyo Yuden or Maxell that would play fine in DVD players.

To burn a DVD using VLC media player, follow these steps:

1. Insert a blank DVD into your computer.

2. Launch the VLC media player and go to Stream under the Media menu.

3. Select the DVD tab and choose the disc chapter and title you want to rip.

4. In the Settings section, try to save the video file with the proper profile like 'Video – H.265 + MP3 (MP4)'.

5. Click the Browse button to set the name and output location where you want to save your ripped video file.

6. Hit the Start button to start the ripping process and wait for it to complete.

After the ripping process is completed, you can get the MP4 files on your PC where you can transfer and play them on your portable device at any time.

In addition to burning DVDs, VLC media player also allows you to convert video files. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Open a new Convert window by selecting the right part of the video and clicking on the dropdown menu beside the Play button.

2. Choose 'Convert' from the dropdown menu.

3. In the Open Media window, select the Disc tab and choose the DVD chapter and title you want to rip.

By following these steps, you can easily burn your favorite videos onto DVDs using VLC media player. Remember to adjust the cache value if you're experiencing playback problems near the outer edge of your burnt discs.
