Burning your videos to a CD or DVD in DivX Player is very easy. There are two ways to burn videos to disc. The first method is through DivX Player’s Media Manager and the second method uses a file manager such as Windows Explorer or a My Computer window.

From the Media Manager in DivX Player, right-click on the file(s) you want to burn and select “Add to Burn Queue.” If selecting more than one file, hold down the Ctrl key while you select the filenames with your cursor.

You can also add the file to the burn queue by simply dragging and dropping the file on the burn motor (the big round button on the right side). Just click on your video file to select it, drag it onto the big round button and release to drop the file.

From the Windows file manager, just drag and drop the video file from the Explorer window onto the big round button in the burning pane of DivX Player. Click on the ‘Burn’ button to begin burning your disc.

To delete a file from your burn queue, just click to select the movie and press the delete or backspace key or use the ‘Clear’ button. You can select several files from the list to delete at once. When deleting a file from your file manager, you won’t delete the original file unless you select to do so.

The files are sorted in alphabetical order when burned to a piece of media. Also, you can change the name of your disc in the Volume Name text field.

You can view the total file size or the space remaining on your disc (DVD or CD) below the orange burning image. If the files exceed the total size limit of your media, DivX Player will not let you burn the files.

Click on the ‘Burn’ button to start burning your video file(s) to your disc.

Once the burning starts, the disc will show you the burning steps and the percentage of files burned. It will take only a few minutes to burn files. Once this process is finished, a status window will appear with the message “Burn successful, you have successfully written X of X files to disc.” This window will also give you the option to clear the burn queue.
