Hi! @Kathy-789, Thanks for stopping by HP forums!

 

I understand you need to know how to burn videos from your PC to DVD.

 

Don't worry I'd like to help you out.

 

Did you make any software or hardware changes to your PC?

 

Please try the steps recommended below to burn the disc on to a DVD.

 

Use the following steps to save files to a disc.
In Windows, search for and open File Explorer.
Click This PC.
Right-click the name of the disk drive and select Eject. Remove any discs from the drive that may have ejected at this time.
Insert a blank disc into the drive and close the drive. The amount of free space displays below the drive icon and the icon changes to reflect the type of disc that was inserted.
Double-click the drive icon to open the Burn a Disc window.
Type a title for your disc (default is the date), then select Like a USB flash drive or With a CD/DVD player, depending on how you want to use the disc.
If you select Like a USB flash drive, the files copy to the disc. You can save, edit, and delete files on the disc many times, but the disc might not work in other computers and devices. To use this option, follow these steps:
Click Next in the Burn a disc window.
A Drag files to this folder to add them to the disc message displays.
Select the files to be added to the disc, then drag them to the drive icon. For example, if you want to copy your garden flower photos from the Pictures folder, drag the Garden Flowers Photos folder to the drive icon.
When all the files are copied, you can eject the disc.
If you select With a CD/DVD player, the files are burned to the disc. These files cannot be edited or removed from the disc, but the disc can be used on most computers. To use this option, follow these steps:
Click Next in the Burn a disc window. The disc formatting process begins.
A Drag files to this folder to add them to the disc message displays.
Navigate to the files, select them, then drag them to the drive icon.
The files display in a Files Ready to Be Written to the Disc window.
Right-click the empty area, then select Burn to disc.
In the Prepare this disc window, type the disc title (default is the date), select the recording speed, then click Next. Your selected files burn to the disc.
When the burn process is complete, a You have successfully burned your files to the disc windows opens. Click Finish to close the window.
 

 

Refer this article to know more information about copying files to discs.

 

 

 

 

I'll keep an eye out for your response.  

I hope you have a great day! 🙂
