• In the early days there used to be external DVD
  players that can play back DVD files when a DVD
  is inserted into them. They used to come with
  preloaded movies, songs and so on while the DVD
  player would rip them. The speakers and TV would
  be connected to the output end of the player such
  that the movie or the songs can be played via
  them. Now, although things have changed a lot
  many still find it easy to distribute their
  content by burning them onto DVD or CDs. These
  days blockbuster movies are rented in Blu-ray
  DVDs and so on. Thus, the demand is not dead.
  There are many ways to burn DVD on Windows 10.
  First, is the inbuilt feature of Windows 10 to
  burn videos, music, pictures and other kinds of
  data to a CD or DVD. This was not the case in the
  earlier days of XP, Vista, and others. Thus, the
  new OS has tried to make things much easier
  natively for the end user. Let us have a list of
  file formats it supports as of now
•       It can burn music in audio file
  types like WMA, MP3, and WAV.
•          It can burn movies and videos
  in file types like AVI, VIDEO_TS, MPEG4, DIVX,
  WMV etc.
•          It can burn images in all
  popular file formats.
•          It can also burn data or
  documents in all popular file formats.
• Now, you must know that if you wish to burn them
  in a format such that it can be played by any DVD
  player, it has to be converted into DVD format
  first. This can be achieved by software like
  DVDFab DVD Creator, and in the same way, if you
  wish to convert it and burn it to a format that
  can be played by any audio CD/DVD player, and
  then you need to convert it to .CDA format first.
  Thus, the guide to how to burn a DVD on Windows
  10 is based on the file conversion, data and
  burning type only.

• Natively Windows 10
• If you wish to burn files to a CD or DVD
  on Windows 10 using their native support, then
  insert a blank DVD to the DVD writer first. This
  should make it available to the computer to start
  working on. Now, go to the place where the files
  have stored that need to be burned, and select
  all of them. In case you have a VIDEO_TS folder,
  select the complete folder. Now, use right click
  and do Send to DVD RW Drive. It could be your
  E drive or F drive, which doesn't matter much.
  Once, that is done, it may ask you to enter a
  name for the DVD Folder or Disc Title. After
  that, it starts burning the contents to the blank
  DVD. This is it, and you re all good to go. This
  is sometimes very easy as copy-paste option of
  Windows. But, in the copy-paste method, the DVD
  disc may not be playable by a DVD player since it
  cannot read it properly if it is not burned as a
  readable DVD disc. This is the case with other
  things too.

• Windows Media Player
• The other way to do so is by using the
  Windows Media Player. There are various options
  and you can choose which one you would like to
  do. There is an option to burn a music CD, in
  which case you would get up to 80 minutes of
  songs in it. But, if you have a lot of songs and
  music, you can go for a DVD that can play WMA,
  MP3 files and can store up to 700 MB. In this
  case, you must go with a data CD. But, if you
  have a lot of files, then you must go with a data
  DVD, which can have up to 4.8 GB of files in them
  containing videos, pictures and so on. Finally,
  you just need the same stuff as before, that is,
  a working DVD writer/reader and blank DVDs. Then,
  open the Windows Media Player, and on the left
  side, you have Burn button, that has a small
  icon of Tick symbol that opens up to allow one
  of the above types of DVD. This is the beginning
  point.
