Does anyone know of any free DVD burning software? I need to burn a TV episode downloaded from iTunes onto disk. My DVD burner came wit NERO, but it was only a trial and I didn't like it anyway.

So, are there any free programs to make a DVD that I can play in a standard DVD player?

Thanks for any help! :)

It will probably be difficult to do what you want because iTunes content is protected. You have to have special software to remove the DRM protection as well as a DVD burner. I'm sure that software is out there somewhere but is probably not strictly legal :D

If you just want to burn a data file Burn4Free does dvds. I think there is something you can do to burn4free to make it burn Itunes stuff but I'm not sure what exactly.

I know burn4free does ISOs flawlessly so if you find an Itunes format to ISO converter I think you would be set.

search for burn4free on Download.com and do NOT install the additional software it tells you to download. Its a scammy way for the company to try and get you to buy extra garbageware.

Imgburn - I bought my laptop from a tech friend a couple of years ago and this program was on it. LOVE it! And it's free. :)

I use a lot of these programs. They have programs that will do just about anything including changing formats, flipping video's, downloading from you tube...all sorts of stuff. No spyware in them, small programs and easy to use.http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/

If you purchased the episode, then if I understand free use rules right, you are allowed to make a copy for your own use. I don't know of any free software, though.

So, I may or may not be able to burn the episodes onto disk depending on what iTunes will let me do... Okay.

Are all of these programs legal and everything, LOL? UT has a strict illegal download policy so I have to be careful what I download.

I'm probably gonna need some help figuring out how to burn these too, DVD burning isn't my highest point of achievement :o

I am going to have to try Imgburn, Candace! Burn4free has gotten bloated with garbage as of late. It used to be really good but now it stinks!

Burning a copy of something that you payed for and intend to keep for personal use is NOT illegal. However, breaking the copy protection on the media IS illegal. It doesn't make any sense and the court battles will probably never end on the subject!

So does that mean it's going to be impossible to burn these episodes to a disk?

I record anything that I want , both to my hard-drive and to disc. It is not free but it is legal as long as you are not selling the DVD's. Digital copies to hard-drive are legal in my state. Drm only applies to HDMI cabling between devices. I use a Hauppauge HD PVR and record using component cables that has no DRM encoding,
