Burning TV shows from itunes into dvd please help!

How do I burn tv shows I have downloaded from the itunes store (which are now in my library) on to DVD? I tried making a playlist but that wasn't right. Help me please! My computer is too full and I really need to off-load Grey's Anatomy onto DVD do I can free up space.

Thank you!

I don't think that you can put shows on dvd from itunes. I think a solution is to burn them on dvd using other programs.
Nero is a good program to do this, or i believe you can do it directly from windows.

You first have to find where iTunes put the shows you downloaded. iTunes puts music i downloaded from into the My Music/iTunes folder. Maybe you'll find the shows there. Next step is to open nero and choose make dvd, if you don't have nero, i believe you can copy and paste the shows into your DVD-R drive and burn choose to burn it from there. Hope it helps!

The DVD will not be playable directly. In a computer with iTunes and authorized with the same account used to purchase the videos the videos will play in iTunes. The DVD will not play in a standalone DVD player for multiple reasons. First, they are in the wrong format. Second, they are copy protected.

If you have XP and a DVD burner you can use XP to do the burning. Your computer may have come with Roxio EZ CD Creator, can also do DVDs, or you may have Nero. A free program that I use is CDBurnerXP. It is free and so far has rarely failed to burn disks.
