    Depends on what you mean by burning DVD's. If you just want to burn files onto it (like you would on a cd) then all you need is a basic burning programs, it sounds like Data Disc might be that (haven't heard of it). But something like the Nero software sweet (though there are free open source burning softwares on the internet also if you google for them).

    To burn a DVD to play in a DVD player is much more complicated. You need a program that can format your videos and encrypt them in the proper format. I suggest Adobe Encore for a really great DVD Authoring software. But in general the word you'd want to search for is "DVD Authoring" and programs that do that will be able to burn playable DVD's.

    Of course, the other problem could be that you bought a DVD player that is not able to burn DVD's. Check the box to see if it says if it can write, burn, otherwise make DVD's. If this is the case you just don't have the right player, you'll have to get one that burns.

    positioned a dvd r in it ,it truly is going to alter while it sees it. you will choose burning utility, Nero is a robust decision. advice- get DVDFab platinum in case you choose to repeat dvds. it truly is going to strip replica secure practices, compress and burn in 2 or 3 clicks. Its 50 dollars to purchase yet you may get a 30 trial that facilitates you to apply all the effective properties . They dont shrink down the trialware like maximum do.
