yes it supports burning dvd's, you just need to select a file and hit the "burn" button on the bar above the files. be sure to have your burnable disc in your burner/dvdplayer/cupholder. :D

You can play most dvd's through windows media player as well! Now, the one key thing to all of this information I'm telling you right now is that you do need to have a DVD player/burner combo. Under my computer it would be called DVD RW.

Hope this helps,
