microsoft edge and once microsoft edge is open go to the address bar right at the very top of the screen oops i've got this update uh settings pop-up come up here i'm just going to click don't update your browser settings and then click apply settings okay so we need to go into the address bar right at the very top of the screen not the search bar in the middle but the address file right at the top if there's anything in it delete it out okay and then we need to type in there dvd flick dot net that's dvd all in lowercase and no spaces just as it's shown on the screen i will try and put a link to this in the description of this video once you've done that press enter or return on your keyboard then you should get this page load move your mouse over download in the bar at the top of the screen there left click once and then scroll down and we need to go to download dvd flick just here click on that okay so we need to click on this cookie window i'm going to click i do not accept he'll still let us download it and the little countdown timer in green there is just counting down and the download should start automatically as you can see there it's now started in the top right hand corner of the screen if you're using edge you'll have the same system and then once it's downloaded it's just going to do a little scan for viruses which might take a little while just be patient with it and there you go when it's ready you've got an open file there button just there if you're using microsoft edge if you're not using microsoft edge then you'll have to go into a yellow folder and then into downloads and find dvd flick underscore setup underscore 1.3.0.7 okay so i've got it up here so i'm just going to click open file and then i've just got this box come up in the middle of the screen i'm just going to click run on there and then you'll get do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device okay so move your mouse over yes left click once then we need to move our mouse over next left click move our mouse over the circle just to the left of i accept the agreement left click move your mouse over next again left click left click next again and left click next again and then left click next again and then left click install there's a lot of next there and a lot of installs and a lot of left clicks as well but this bit shouldn't take too long there we go it's just registering the files at the moment just be patient so we've got some more left clicks here so we've got a left click next there and we've got a finish just here and then if we want to clean up the download file that we just downloaded from our downloads folder all we need to do is if we're in microsoft edge we just click on this open downloads folder there find dvd flick setup left click once on it and then left click delete now if obviously you didn't download with edge then what you can do is you can go into any other folder down there click on downloads click on dvd flick underscore setup underscore 1.3.0.7 and then left click delete there and then where it says do you want to move this file to the recycle bin left click yes there you go and let's just come out that file there just click on the cross there let's click on the cross in edge there and now we've got a dvd flick icon just on the screen just there so we can double click on that and there we go we get this welcome to dvd flick so there's a few guides here if we want to have a look through or we've got the forums or the website there for guidance but we click on close here and then what we want to do is we want to add a title that's a video we want to add so click on add a title in the top right hand corner there and we need to find our videos now mine's in the video section and what i want to do is i want to add these two here so i'm just going to double click on one of the videos first of all and that's just adding it there we go and i want to add another title that's another video to it so i'm going to click on add title there and i'm just going to double click on this one here okay so we can move these around if we want if we want this video here to be played in front of the one above then we can use move up or move down we can also go into menu settings if we want to create a uh a flashy sort of menu there for the dvd i'm not going to go too far into that on this video here i'm not going to go into it at all in actual fact and then when we're ready we just click on create dvd now this bit is going to take a bit of time if your video is quite a large video it could take several hours and it might look at times as though as if it's got stuck but believe me it hasn't now what i'm gonna have to do is i'm gonna have to pause this video and we'll come back to it once it's nearing the end of creating the actual files okay so we're getting near to the end of the encoding stage that's of the first video don't forget in my example i've done two videos so if you've done more than one video then this green bar's gotta go all the way to the top again several times depending on how many videos you've actually created and there we go as i say it's just starting the next video now so just be patient with it as i say it's nearly finished encoding the video now it's just encoding the audio hopefully this shouldn't take anywhere near as long as the video as you can see the green line is flying up the bar and uh it's now doing the second track so the second video and again hopefully this shouldn't take too long so nope there you go in the next step it's going to combine both the audio and the video together and don't worry it does this all for you so here we go it's just doing that as we speak now this might take a little bit of time so i'm going to pause this video and we'll come back to it once it's done that section there we go it's done that and now it's creating the dvd files so hopefully this shouldn't take too long there we go and it's now finished so the next thing we need to do is we can close down this program let's close it right the way down in actual fact before we close it down just want to check to see where the uh the the project files are and that's in a folder called dvd in documents hopefully yours will be the same so let's just exit and next thing we need to do is pop the dvd into our dvd writer and that should be a blank dvd you can't write to a dvd it's already got stuff on it so it has to be a brand new blank dvd there we go it's just uh given us a notification in the bottom right hand corner to say that it's uh it's found the dvd that we've just put in and the next thing we need to do is we need to click on a yellow folder any yellow folder on the screen will do and then go into documents and go into the dvd folder there and then go into the dvd folder just there and what we need to do is we need to copy both of these folders here the audio underscore ts and the video underscore ts now let's just highlight video ts and then hold down the ctrl key on the keyboard and click on audio ts okay let go the control key and then what we're going to do is we're going to hold down the left mouse button on one of those files and we're going to drag it slowly down to dvd rw now if that disappears off the screen like it has mine i've just let go of the left mouse button with the the files been over on a blank area okay and i'm going to do this again so let's just click on video ts hold down the ctrl key or control key on your keyboard then click on audio ts let go the control key and then just keep the left mouse button held down and drag it down and then across to dvd rw and as soon as dvd-rw goes blue let go okay so as you can see here it says how do you want to use this disk well we want to use it with a cd stroke dvd player so click on the little circle just to the left of with a cd stroke dvd player and then we can give the disc a title if we want to so at the moment he's put today's date in there but i can put anything in there so i'm just going to call that guides because that's what that's what the actual dvd is going to contain these video guides now i must stress that you can't again you can't add more videos after to the dvd once you've um added your these files here that's it you can't add any more to them if it's a dvd rewritable again you can't add more stuff to it but you can erase the disk and obviously start again with it so okay so with a cd stroke dvd player selected there click next and then click on dvd stroke rw and in actual fact it hasn't copied the files in there so i'm going to just try this again it is a bit of a black art so let's go up to documents go to dvd go to the second dvd okay and let's just click on video ts hold down the ctrl key on the keyboard click on audio ts let go of the ctrl key and let's click and hold the left mouse button down on any one of the two folders there move it down and let's go across to dvd-rw drive once it's gone blue let's let go of those there we go that's now in there and then what we want to do is we want to click drive tools up there and click on finish burning okay so there you go you've got a chance now to change the disk title if you don't like what the disk titles look it is you can change the recording speed there on some disks icon at the moment so i'm just going to move the mouse over next left click once and it's going to now start to burn the disk now this bit might take quite a while and it might look at times as if the disc isn't doing anything please just be patient with it if you're doing this on a laptop please make sure that it's plugged in at the mains or at least has plenty of battery available to it so what i'm going to do is i'm going to pause this video and we're going to come back to it in a few minutes there's an estimated time left there of seven minutes showing online but take that time with a pinch of salt it's never 100 accurate so i'm going to pause this video and let's say we're going to come back to it a little bit later okay so there we go it says the disk is finished and then all i do is i just click on finished there the disk has actually ejected itself i'm just going to close this window down and we're just going to check the disk so what i'm going to do is i'm going to open vlc player which i've got installed on this computer so just let's just open that and what i'm going to do is i'm going to pop the the dvd back into the drive now it might take a few moments for it to be recognized so just be patient shouldn't take too long give it perhaps i'd say 10 20 seconds as you can see there you go it's it's found it so if i go up to media here and then go to open disk and then i click play just here hopefully it should start playing there we go and the dvd has started playing if you want to delete those files that dvd flip created on your hard drive then all you do is open up any yellow folder click on documents okay and click on dvd there and then click on delete just up there and then click yes and then that gets rid of them off of the computer you can then if you want to empty the recycle bin so just right click on the recycle bin left click empty recycle bin then left click yes and that's it the files have been deleted so there you go that guide showed you how to burn your
