How do I add files to be burned onto a DVD disk with nero 2018 platinum video

Can someone explain to me how to do this step by step? I've tried watching u Tube, but it either too fast, or I get bombarded with uncessary loud overkill music which puts me right off. I have aspbergers and I find it a bit overwhelming.

Thanks.

    What operating system? If Windows, you may find it easier to use the built-in feature to burn files with a simple copy & paste.

    As above, more info needed.

    But, if you're trying to add files to a disc that's already been burnt, you might not be able to. If the disc been closed to more writing then that's it.

    I have windows 10. I tried the burning thing on my PC, but it wouldn't work properly on my dads DVD player. I haven't used any disks yet, it's been finalised, just waiting to go onto a new disk. I have six files on my heard drive (about six mins long)

    Are you trying to burn computer files to the DVD (rather than creating a DVD-video or audio-DVD)?

    If so, the free version of DeepBurner does this and it's really simple to use.

    I have a pack of blank DVD by Verbitem, so probably yes. Does this deepburner let me play the discs on a DVD player?

    Also is this the link to choose please?

    I think we need to know at least these two things:
    - What files are you trying to burn?
    - Where are you planning to use this DVD?

    Ok, so if you have created a 'presentation' with Nero, unless it's in a format compatible with TVs (like an AVI or MPEG file), you will probably be able to see that on another computer only.
    If, on the other end, these are just single photos (like jpeg files), that should not be a problem on a player.

    If you check the DVD on your own computer (the one you used to burn it), what kind of files do you see in it?

    I've taken a screen shot, but don't know how to add it.

    Assuming you have used nero to make some some of video and you want it in standard dvd format you need something to convert it into a compliant disk.


    I find avs2dvd to be the easiest to do this. (will convert pretty much any video to a dvd).
