Hello rayorg48,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

I see that you would like to know how to burn multiple video files to a DVD. I'll be glad to help assist you with this.

Are you trying to just add these video files to be saved as multiple video data files on the DVD? If so, you can add video files to a DVD when you burn like other data. Please see the instructions in support article: OS X El Capitan: Burn CDs and DVDs , specifically:

  1. Insert a blank disc into the optical drive.

    If you see a dialog, click the pop-up menu, then choose Open Finder. Select “Make this action the default” if you want to open the Finder every time you insert a blank disc.

    The disc appears on your desktop.

  2. Double-click the disc to open its window, then drag the files and folders you want to burn to the window.

    Aliases to the files are placed in the disc’s window. The original files are not moved or deleted.

    Note: If you want to burn the same files to discs multiple times, use a burn folder.
  3. Arrange and rename the files.

    When the disc is burned, the items on the disc have the same names and locations that they have in the disc window. After the disc is burned, you cannot change the items.

  4. Choose File > Burn [disc], then follow the instructions.

    The files that the aliases point to are burned to the disc. In addition, if the folders you add to the disc contain aliases, the files those aliases point to are also burned to the disc.

    Note: If you eject the disc without burning it, a burn folder with the items you copied to the disc is created and placed on your desktop. To complete the burn process, click the burn icon User uploaded file next to the folder in the Finder sidebar, or hold down the Control key as you click any disc, then choose Burn Disc from the shortcut menu.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers.
