How can I burn video files that I have downloaded from iTunes onto a blank DVD? I want to buy complete seasons from iTunes and then keep them on DVDs so I can watch them on TV but I don't know how to do that. I have Toast but it said that the format is unsupported.

Any help would be appreciated.

Well, the problem is that they're in a protected format, so it might be hard to get something to play them. I'd try iDVD, since you can make DVDs that will play in a DVD player, and since it's made by Apple, it might just be able to play and burn the files in a DVD format.

crap I deleted iDVD off of my computer...

I dont understand why I cant burn the files to a disk to watch on a TV, it would be the same as burning a cd with iTunes music on it to play on a cd player.

It would be the same if life were fair. However, I have news for you.

Even if you had iDVD, you couldn't do it.

You haven't paid for the right to transfer them to DVD to watch on your TV. All you can do it watch them on some computers and iPods.
