Yes, there is a way to burn our video files to blank DVDs and play them on a DVD player. This process, however, does require special DVD burning software that you may need to purchase if you don’t already have access. There may be some free software out there as well depending on if you’re operating from a Mac or a PC. If that’s the route you need to go, then here is a helpful guide in doing so:
