How to burn DVD?

Many friends ask me how to burn iTunes movies to DVD, so that they can enjoy their movies on large screen TV. For computer newbie, I will recommend them to get an Apple TV; it can connect your iTunes library to TV, the only thing you need to do is to sync movies from iTunes to Apple TV box. An Apple TV costs $299, if you think this is beyond your budget, you can use software to do that same thing, which is a lot cheaper. Now, let me explain the details. Because movies and TV shows purchased from iTunes store have DRM copy-protection, you have to remove the DRM protection before burning them to DVDs for playback on your home DVD player.What you need are: Media Converter& DVD Creator. You can download them from:http://www.aimersoft.com/drm-media-converter.html

Part1. How to remove DRM copy-protected from iTunes purchased movie or TV shows?
Step1. Download and install Almedia Converter, just follow the installation wizard, this software will install virtual sound card to convert DRM protected files, when you see the pop up warning messages, just click “Next” to finish the installation, which may take a few minutes.

Step2. Then run Aimersoft Media Converter, click “Add” button to load your purchased iTunes movies or TV shows, the default directory is My Document\My Music\iTunes\iTunes MusicIn the “Convert Video to” drop down list, select Apple TV formats you want. The preset parameters do quite well and you can also customize them according to your request by click button “Setting” on the right, then click “Start” to begin the conversion. If you don’t know where the converted videos are saved, you can click “Browse” to locate the files on your computer.
