Summary of Solutions to Burn YouTube to DVD
1. Online YouTube downloader + DVD burning software (Recommended)
If Y2Mate doesn’t meet your demands, you can try other online tools like savefrom.net, ytmp3.gg, turboscribe.ai, etc. Note that SaveFrom.net is only available outside the U.S.
2. Dedicated YouTube downloader + DVD burning software (Recommended)
For the best experience, use Cisdem VideoPaw + Cisdem DVD Burner. The bundle is available for a $99.99/lifetime. Cisdem DVD Burner alone costs $39.99/year or $49.99/lifetime.
3. Use an all-in-one YouTube to DVD converter
Wondershare UniConverter, originally Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate, covers both downloading and burning functions. But it’s more expensive ($85.99/perpetual plan) and its burning features are not as brilliant as the Cisdem DVD burner.
4. Online YouTube downloader + online video to DVD converter (Doesn't work)
Although Zamzar.com provides “DVD” as an output format, it can't actually burn or convert YouTube video to DVD. Based on my test, when I selected "DVD" and started converting, I only got the MPG video. Online converters can only convert file formats and can’t create the VIDEO_TS folder structure.
This article focused on the first two methods. The third one is also worth considering.
Conclusion
That's all about how to download and burn YouTube video to DVD. It needs to spend a bit of time to complete the whole process if want to make a unique DVD.
