    Simple answer: Download and install; Nero 8

    Don't install the ASK Toolbar and de-select any options to take over your computer.

    Once installed, open StartSmart and go to Create and Edit Video or NeroVision 5 from within the Suite and do the same.

    Choose Add Video Files and follow the instructions.

    Make sure there is a DVD-R in the drive. It will take around two hours to create and burn the DVD Video..

    You have a 15 day trial of the Nero 8 software.
