A burned DVD will not work in most DVD players until it's finalized. You can still view the DVD in a computer's DVD burner. When creating movies, home videos, and slide shows, you will want to finalize the DVD in order to play it on any DVD player. Finalizing a DVD means you won't be able to change or add anything else to the disk. All DVD creation programs allow you to finalize DVDs with the click of a button.

How do you burn a DVD that your DVD player will read?

Regardless of your operating system you need to "master" the DVD in order to use it in a DVD player. On Windows, insert a blank DVD into a DVD-writable drive and allow the computer to ask what you want to do. Tell the computer to "Burn a DVD video disc," add the files that you want to burn onto the DVD. After the files are encoded, the files are burned onto the DVD and finalized (the reason why it is called "mastered"). The disc is now playable on a DVD player. On Mac OS X, insert a blank DVD into your computer's DVD-writable drive or SuperDrive and open iDVD. Follow the wizard or create a custom disc and click the "Burn" button on the bottom of the window. After the disc is burned (and technically finalized), the DVD is able to be used in DVD players.
