Now that we’ve discussed the basics, here are a few more pointers:
You can’t burn Blu-ray discs on a DVD burner. Blu-ray burners are a different piece of equipment. You can, however, burn DVDs on a Blu-ray burner.
CDs won’t create “playable” DVDs or Blu-ray discs. You can store the files on a CD, but clients won’t be able to watch them on a Blu-ray or DVD player.
When it comes to Blu-ray discs, you have a few options.
You also have some choices if you choose to burn DVDs.
You get what you pay for. BDR and DVD-R brands like Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim tend to burn better than ones like Memorex.
Go for a slow burn, especially if you choose a double layer disc. If you burn discs on your burner’s slowest setting, you’ll be less likely to have dead discs.
Burning your Animoto videos onto discs is easier than it sounds – you just need the right equipment and a little time to learn the basics. And when you’re finished, you have a physical keepsake to give clients that they can enjoy again and again.
