Burning a DVD: Copying data to a DVD fromanother location
If your emachine is equipped with a DVD burner, then you will be able to burn movies. You will also need DVD burning software that is capable of burning movies, there are many options available.
Dvd-r or DVD+r are the most common types of dvds you can use to burn your own videos onto, you can also use a dvdrw which is a rewritable DVD, a dvdr usually says it can hold 4.7gbs of data, but in reallity it only holds just about 4.5gbs after formatting, most ripping software will also rip a dual layer DVD to a compressed rate of about 4.36gbs, so as to accommodate for the finished files to be able to fit on a dvdr, the best dvdr for me is a DVD-r, minus r dvds burn and work better in standalone DVD players as well as in computers, and most DVD burners these days are fully compatible with them, so your best bet is to get yourself some DVD-r's and start the burning, have fun.
Most commercially-produced DVD movies have some kind of copy protection scheme that deter consumers in making copies of DVDs. Such schemes can be any or all of the following: Content Scramble System (CSS) Anti-ripping schemes such as ProtectDISC Video or SecureBurn Regional Codes User Operations Prohibition (UOP), which takes away user-features, such as selection menus, chapters, or subtitle choices As protection schemes naturally disallow consumers to make duplicates of a copyrighted material, it also prevents the casual copying of movies, such as making backups, transferring it to a better media, archiving, etc. Making duplicates of these copy protected DVDs using any of the popular DVD burning software will create inferior or even unplayable versions of your movie. There are capable DVD burning software that can bypass these protection schemes though. These software will allow you to burn copy protected DVDs without hassle.

The file extension *.iso (hence inspiring the popular term ISO files/images/image files) refers to the ISO9660 filesystem that is used on CDs, DVDs, and most optical media. You can burn a physical CD/DVD with it provided you have CD/DVD burning software that can read ISO9660 images, and a CD or DVD writer drive. Otherwise, you can use it in place of a physical copy for some software that "requires" a CD/DVD to work.
