How to create a DVD movie of video downloaded from Google Video, Youtube or Myspace so that these videos can be watched on the TV screen ?

That’s exactly the requirement of Sarah Chamma. She writes:

I’m trying to figure out how to burn YouTube videos on DVDs (not CDs). Could you please give it to me step by step, clear as crystal?

What systems to use, how to burn more than one video on one DVD, etc.? I don’t consider myself terribly computer literate.

Before you decide to watch Youtube videos on TV via your DVD player, keep in mind that the video quality will be very low - The video resolution on sites like youtube or Google Video is 320x240 while DVD frame size is 720x480 for NTSC or 720x576 for PAL.

If you are still game, here’s how you can burn one or more video onto a DVD without spending a penny:

Step 1: Download the Internet Video to your hard disk in Flash Video format (extension: flv) using any of the free tools like iTube, vixy.net or keepVid.com. [Details here & here]

Step 2: Get the free DVD authoring software called DVD Flick. The software takes all your videos, encodes them and burns a DVD that can be played on any DVD player. Follow this step-by-step guide on how to burn videos using DVD Flick.

With DVD Flick, you can also add Titles, subtitles and audio tracks to your Youtube DVD project to make them more interesting. Keep your Blank DVD disc ready.

Update: Sarah was finally able to transfer Youtube videos to Youtube. She writes - "Wow! Thanks a million. I did it! I’m so proud of myself. I can’t thank you enough for that."
