As technology continues to advance, you don't even need to burn home movies to disc to watch them on your television. High-end DVD player models (and all Blu-ray disc players) feature USB inputs that can be used to house USB flash drives filled with movies. You can then access the files through your DVD player's main menu and watch them on your TV screen. You just need to follow the proper directions.
Step 1
Look in the instruction manual for your DVD player to see what type of video files it supports. DVD players won't just support any file format--most support .MKV or .AVI files, among a few other popular formats. Be sure to look in the "Technical Specifications" listing in your DVD player's instruction manual to see what formats it will support before potentially wasting your time.
