How do I format a DVD on my computer?

you don't.. your DVD writing software takes care of that, and in most cases will insist that it is blank\nDVD/RW's will be erased prior to writing by the DVD burning software

No formatting is necessary unless you want to "burn" using the drag and drop functionality in Windows Explorer.  As for +R and -R, that depends on your drive make and model.  Right-click your my computer icon on your desktop and select properties.  Now select the Hardware tab and then the Device Manager button.  On this new screen, find DVD/CD-ROM drives and click the "+" symbol next to this entry.  This will show you what kind of drive you have.  You can use this info to determine what your drive capabilities are.  Good luck!

Your computer will come with the required software. That will be the easy way. Alternatively, you can download/buy DVD burning software. Nero is a good one

Use a program to convert it then burn the dvd from the iso file. You will need something like Nero 6.X

The easiest way is to use something like DVD Shrink which will rip and then compress Dual Layer (DVD-9, 8.6GB) discs to a Single Layer DVD. \n\nOtherwise the best quality way is to use DVD Decrypter and then DVD Rebuilder.

if you already have a dvd burning program on your computer, all you need to do is put a dvd-r or whatever into the disk drive, and just follow the onscreen instructions on your dvd program. you should be good to go.

You need a DVD Codec.  Software that is capable of watching the DVD Format such as PowerDVD or WinDVD come with this codec.  Once you have this software, you can watch DVD's using the software or in Windows Media Player.  Your DVD drive should have come with this software.

Put the disk in the drive. Go to "my computer" and open, Then right click on the DVD drive and click copy or save. You'll save it to a folder in "my documents" or "my movies" probably. Youcan always name a folder "My DVD".\n\nGood luck

The easiest program I found to use is called NeroVision , you put any media file into it, it will make a playable DVD for you. So simple!
