Once you’ve got Netflix videos in MP4 or MKV format, there are several ways to burn them to DVD. Next, I’ll walk you through three methods:

 

Method 1: Burn Netflix Movies/Shows to DVD on Windows

After you rip Netflix videos, it’s time to burn Netflix to DVD. If you have been using Windows for a long time, you shouldn’t be unfamiliar with Windows Media Player (WMP).

📌 Tips:

The burning speed of Windows Media Player can be slow, so you need to wait for it to finish patiently.

Step 3. Drag your downloaded Netflix videos into the “Burn” panel. If burning multiple videos, organize them into folders for easy navigation. Choose a slower burn speed (e.g., 4x or 6x) for better results.

Step 4. Once burned, test the DVD in a standard player to ensure compatibility and smooth playback.
