You might have heard of a DVD burning program called Nero Burning ROM, but what about Nero Express? Despite having the almost identical name, these are 2 different programs, and the ways you can burn a DVD using the two programs are different. If you find Nero Express on your computer and you don't know how to burn an MP4 video to DVD using it, then you are in the right place, because today we are going to talk about how to burn MP4 video to DVD using Nero Express.

Part 1: About Nero Express

To know how to burn MP4 video to DVD using Nero Express, you have to know something about the software itself. You might have known the famous burning program Nero Burning ROM, well, Nero Express is a simplified edition of Nero Burning ROM targeted at entry-level users. This software is available with the Nero software suite. Although Nero Express is not as powerful as the full-featured Nero Burning ROM, it features a streamlined user interface, and offers a range of features than those offered by Windows. Nero Express is also integrated into Nero software suite, typically into OEM editions of this software which lack Nero Burning ROM.

This program has often been considered as bloatware by some users as it is bundled on various manufacturer's new PCs. Actually, Nero Express 10 is typically pre-installed with Toshiba computers, so it is usually licensed for use only on the Toshiba PC on which it was pre-installed, and it is often time or functionally (lite version) limited for Toshiba computers. However, just because this might be considered bloatware does not mean the software is bad or harmful, if you use it regularly its worthwhile to have. And next I will show you how to burn a DVD using Nero Express.

Part 3: How to burn MP4 video to DVD using Leawo DVD Creator

Although Nero Express works fine most of the time, it's in fact not the best choice when you want to burn an MP4 to a DVD disc. First, it is a pre-installed program on Toshiba computers, so if you are not using a Toshiba computer, chances are you can't find the program on your PC. Second, even if you are using a Toshiba computer, you might have already deleted this program because you didn't install it yourself in the first place. Needless to say, the program itself is a very simple burning program who only has very basic burning functions and cannot provide a very pleasant DVD burning experience.
