If you have the latest version of Nero it will burn DVD or VCD. You have to select it from the options.

Use RaaF's link for further help on burning. They provide better information than I do. You can also go to the nero support section and d/l the users manual they are well written and easy to understand. They have saved me a lot of grief.

One other word to the wise. Make sure your DVD player can accept the media your are using, and It can play the format you are burning.
