I've got a disc burner and just got a bunch of blank DVDs from work.

Any tips for burning these? I know that if I drop an h265 mkv on one of these it would look great, but a standard player would have issues playing it back.

Don't ever burn at over 8x speed if you want it to work in a DVD player, I used to always do 4x. I also used to do encoding into a DVD compatible format separately in Handbrake instead of within whatever burning software I was using.

Definitely wouldn't have thought of this.
