Have you ever used Windows DVD Maker? It is a total freeware. This article will show you how to burn videos to DVD with Windows DVD Maker in details.
As we all know, Windows DVD Maker is a great application to burn pictures and video to DVD discs. However, as a Windows built-in program, DVD Maker supports very limited video formats, such as avi, mpg, m1v, mpeg, mpe, mpv2, wm, wmv, dvr-ms, wtv and asf.

So I will take DVD to iPad Converter and Windows DVD Maker as examples to show the whole process of converting and burning step by step.
