While burning MPEG files to a DVD is essentially the same thing as burning regular data, usually you need to add some extras. With today's DVD authoring tools, you can easily burn MPEG files and give them professional features such as chapters, so you can skip through a large video file, add a title or menu page (such as a wedding DVD) or catalogue many TV shows that you saved already on your computer's hard drive. Some DVD burning software even allow you to add subtitles that you can create your self or you can even add DRM (digital right management), if you are creating commercial videos that you would like others not to be able to make copies of your DVD easily. So you need to choose a DVD Burner or Creator, whatever you call it, just according to your need. If you are not professional video editors, you can just choose a DVD Backup Software of low price or you can also Google Free DVD Burning software.
