DVDflick is a free program for Windows XP, 2000, and Vista that can help you burn virtually any video file into a DVD player playable disc. You can download it here. Install it, run it and the DVD Flick window pops up. Keep reading for a quick rundown of how to make a DVD.

1. After you have DVD Flick running, click on Project settings. Everything here is pretty simple and straight forward. If you don’t understand something, there is usually a question mark next to the setting that will give you a short explanation of what it is.

2. When you’re done messing with the settings, click accept. Now you can just drag and drop videos into the DVD Flick window, or click Add title to add a video. Now click on the video you added and click Edit title. Again, everything here is pretty straight forward.

3. If you don’t have subtitles, you can skip this part. I’m going to the Subtitle track tab. Here, you can add .srt, .ssa, or .ass subtitles. Add your subtitles, and then click edit. Here you can choose the language of your subtitles, their color, their size, their font, and more. When you’re done, press accept on the Subtitle window and then again on the Edit title window.

4. Click on Menu Settings if you want to add a menu. I usually do not add menus because I just want the video to play when I put the DVD in. The settings are straight forward and you can even preview the menus. Click Accept when you’re done.

When you’re all done editing your stuff, click Create DVD. If you have a blank DVD in your drive, it will do everything for you. It can even entertain you while you’re waiting for it to finish! Just click the Entertain me button for a nice Tetris clone. If you want to speed up the process, you can switch the Process priority up a few notches. This will usually slow down the rest of your computer while it’s working though.

5. Well, that’s all for now. Fun fact though, the movie I was using here is called REC. It’s the movie Quarantine is based on. It is originally Spanish, and it’s really good. I’d recommend seeing it.
